Creating an MMORPG with an all volunteer team is hard enough. Having to create it while a camera crew is following your every move would seem to add on to the challenges. However that's exactly what Damon Grow decided to do with his company Shattered Reality Interactive. He and his time are trying to make their MMORPG Kaos War under the cameras for Creating Kaos, a new web video reality series that launched its first episode on Games.net last Friday and will continue on a weekly basis.
FiringSquad got a chance to chat with Grow about both Kaos War and Creating Kaos. You can check out the interview right here (http://www.firingsquad.com/news/newsarticle.asp?searchid=10791). Here is a snip:
FiringSquad: Are you afraid that showing yourself and your challenges in making this game in this way might portray you in a bad light?
Damon Grow: I guess everything in life is a double-edged sword. There will be hate, but there will also be love. I cannot hate people who spit in my face and throw tomatoes at me. You just lift your chin and keep going. Since we started people have said that we would fail, that we simply can’t do it, that it’s impossible. Well, they said the same thing to every person that changed the world. I get a lot of inspiration from the past, and no matter how many times someone kicks you down, what matters most is getting back up. We just couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity to tell gamers our story, including all of our setbacks and triumphs.
Having a reality series follow a game developer seems like a natural...maybe A&E or Bravo can think about doing something similar
