  Those that like to read interviews will find a new one @

  http://massivelyop.com/2015/11/24/interview-pantheon-devs-on-funding-unity-and-the-launch-window/

   

  CEO Chris Rowan, CCO Brad McQuaid, and Creative Director Chris Perkins answered questions about:

   - How finances are being handeled now versus before. "Our CFO (Tim Sullivan) is the only person at the company who holds the pursestrings."

   - target playerbase: "MMOs have moved away from a social and community-driven focus where cooperative play is rewarded. This has left a significant audience orphaned, and Pantheon is being developed for that audience."

    - Graphics is being moved from Unity store assets to Pantheon inspired art.

   - We are still on target for the release date. "With proper funding, we plan on releasing Pantheon in 2017."

  Thanks for the link Zarriya. Those screen shots were gorgeous. I know it sounds odd but the one I was most impressed with wsa the grassy hill with the rocks and trees. It is easy to make a grand local look grand but the simple places are where players will be most often and tend to get the least TLC.

  Good interview. It looks like you guys are winning hearts and minds at a steady pace if the responses after the article are any indication. There are still some haters but it seems a lot less.

  Nice read.

  I like the frugal attitude. But I only think, that it^ is so, is because they all know that Pantheon is one hell of a gem. I think a good many of the alpha-testers are going to be blown away. Visionary Realm's heads down attitude is because otherwise...  they would be grinning.

  But PLEASE wait for the new web site before you promote Pantheon any more. I feel hindered on these forums.

   

   

  Happy thanks & giving day. Please help out others.

  Great article. Thanks for the link.

  I am very impressed with the writeup. I think they did a nice balanced article.

  Overall, gives the impression of a well organized team and a beautiful game.

  2017. Wonderful. I have been waiting since 2007 more or less. That would be a great 10 year anniverary present ;)

  Happy Thanksgiving to all.

  I appreciate the post Zarriya, but I had already made one a day earlier, and will therefore need to close this thread to consolidate.
  
  As a rule of thumb, I will always post interviews and releases like this in our announcement section, if I am unavailable, another team member will post on my behalf, sometimes it may be a few hours late but it will always be posted ;)

  Please feel free to comment in the original announcement thread.
