Gen Con Interview with Rusty Williams

By Keith Cross on Aug 22, 2008

While in attendance at Gen Con Indy, the MMORPG.com crew had the chance to sit down and talk to FLS CEO Rusty Williams about upcoming improvements to Pirates of the Burning Sea and their rapid pace in publishing updates since the games launch.

It’s not often you get to sit down and chat with the CEO of a development studio, but we did just that with Rusty Williams, CEO of Flying Labs Studio about their game Pirates of the Burning Sea. In this industry you talk to a lot of different types of people. Some come across kinda stuffy and almost rehearsed when talking about their product, others like Rusty, you can absolutely tell he loves what he does and the product he’s working on.

It was very apparent from our talk that Flying Lab Studios is very dedicated to Pirates of the Burning Sea and turning it into the amazing game it has the potential to be. Since the game launched in January, FLS has released a major updated every month so far. Currently they’re working on update 1.7 which will introduce new tutorials and overall improve the new player experience. It also adds a new camera system, added repeatable missions and new ad hoc rules on how you get into fights in the open sea, to help fight ganking.
