Stardock on Multiplaying – Get your questions answered
by Jason Hamel "Aberrant"
The Multiplaying podcast will soon be speaking with Brad Wardell, the founder and CEO of Stardock , a PC software company that has emerged as one the top gaming developers/publishers. Some of their top PC games are Galactic Civilizations I & II, Sins of a Solar Empire, and Demigod. Two of their games currently rank in the top 10 on metacritic for PC games released in the past few years. They also developed Impulse, a digital distribution service for games and Windows software that is very user friendly.
We are very excited for this opportunity! If you have any questions for Brad, please feel free to post them here or email them to multiplaying@gmail.com. While we can’t promise to hit all of the questions, we will do our best. Stay tuned for the podcast episode to air towards the end of the month.
Dude seriously?!?
what method did you use to get in touch with Stardock? i’ve had the worst luck trying to get ahold of somebody using their forums, leaving a voicemail with someone from the company, and contacting their PR person. :/
This will be a great show though im sure!!
I’ll just submit one question… well a line of questions. you’ll see.
Has Brad played LoL? (beta keys are easy to get)
If so, does he think there is anything to adopt from the LoL model? specifically – Recipes (the way they do them has a very polished interface), Game Mechanics, or Choosing heroes in game to allow for faster/better replays?
If not, what turned him off from learning about the competition?
Grats guys! I can’t wait to listen in!
I just want you to say “Well, check out the big brain on Brad.”
Hehe, and no matter what his response is, I will say, “That’s right…the metric system….”
For those that aren’t familiar with Stardock, what sets them apart as a company from its peers in the industry? What sorts of things does it do in order to create an identity for itself with the products it has produced?
moar dots.
Once modding is released, what role does stardock see the community playing in shaping ranked gameplay? Will popular mods be incorporated into Pantheons?
Also, what role does Stardock see for the community to create/hold its own events? Do they support 3rd party tournaments like Lagwar’s Demigod tournament?? The registration for which has just opened?? (shameless plug)
