Recently the lead designer at Cryptic Studios, Jack Emmert, visited London and we got an exclusive interview with the busy developer, who’s not only heading the constant update work for City of Heroes, but who’s also the front figure in the studio’s next MMORPG – City of Villains.
We’ve learned a lot about building zones over the past year with City of Heroes. We learned how to tell a story with the zone, with its spawns, with the dialogue and with the missions that occur there. We use our latest zones from City of Heroes, Striga Island and Croatoa, as our models for what we want to do in City of Villains. I think players will be blown away right from the start.
