Red 5 Studios Interview

WarCry has conducted an interview with Red 5 Studios' Mark Kern, quizzing the CEO about the MMORPG company's recent growth and what they have planned for their massively multiplayer debut.
Q: It used to be that no one ever heard of a game company until they announced (or launched, if you go further back) their product. Now we see many companies poking their heads up before their game is ready for the light of day. Why do you feel it is important to get the Red 5 name out there at this stage?

A: I think we have an interesting story, especially if you look at all the great people coming on board the team. I don't just mean the many people from World of Warcraft or Blizzard, but everyone coming in from other places where they've been at the top of their game. We have a great team from all over the industry, and that's something I hope will pique people's interest in what we are doing. We've also been doing some interesting things like the Golden Ticket program that I hope will give poeple a glimpse into the quality and culture of the company we are building that we are also putting into our first game. As to why we do it, we want gamers to follow the company, and not just one specific game. We feel its important to build a community even before the game launches, and that starts from the beginning of the company.
