Folks who have followed Mythic games through the years will recognize the name Sanya Weathers. Weathers is in the news today as she's been hired by Pitchblack Studios as the new community manager for the recently announced Prime: Battle for Dominus. Weathers confirmed the new job via her personal blog.
Me: (getting flashbacks to another startup I loved) So… what’s the idea behind the game?
Them: A three faction PVP MMO. In space.
Me: (The flashbacks are getting stronger, plus bonus points for sci-fi) Really?
Them: Earth was invaded by an overwhelmingly strong alien race, the Rodon, and humanity only survived because the alien race that kind of sort of created the Rodon intervened. Those guys, the Salent, are playing a very deep game. Anyway, there’s one element in the whole galaxy required for technical advancement, inventions, good gear, defense, and other stuff that players invent and make, and it’s mostly found on one planet called Dominus. The faction that controls Dominus has a major advantage.
Me: (Whoa.) Anything else?
Them: (List of things on which a big budget project simply can’t take a chance.)
Me: (weakly trying to be cool) That’s all?
Them: Well, there are jetpacks.
