Spiderweb Software Interview

The guys over at The Gamer Studio chatted up Spiderweb's Jeff Vogel earlier in the week, with the primary topic of the Q&A being the brand new RPG series he intends to launch in spring of 2011.
What is the new game called and why?

I actually don't have a name yet. I have several possibilities, but we're going over them for possible trademark issues. Right now, the working title is "The Game". It'll probably be a couple months before we nail down something exact.

Could you give us a brief summary of the storyline?

The known world is divided into the Pact and the Farlands. The Pact is an alliance of five nations, who have banded together to keep the barbarians and monsters of the Farlands at bay. You are one of the elite warriors of the Pact, given almost limitless authority to hunt enemies inside and out. You get all the best weapons and powerful magic, all the cool toys, but the responsibility and danger are both considerable. And you have a very difficult boss to please. That's where we're at so far.

What was the inspiration behind it?

Believe it or not, a Hungarian opera called Bluebeard's Castle.
