Last month we had the privilege of meeting celebrated art director Matt Mocarski to discuss a range of different topics centred around Carbine Studios’ debut MMORPG, Wildstar
Thanks to our finely tuned Zoom H1 dictaphone and the foresight of conducting the interview in silent surroundings, we can bring you the audio in a clear and unedited fashion, so you can judge for yourself the context and meaning behind the developer’s own words as he uttered them.
Topics covered include the development culture at Carbine Studios, the reasons behind the inclusion of hoverboards, the thinking behind that unique art style, Matt’s history in the industry and why Wildstar has more in common with He-Man than World of Warcraft.
Justin van Huyssteen from NoobFeed writes - The Metaverse is a nebulous concept that has been floated about, by some, as the next big thing, and people often want to jump on board these kinds of things. Metaverse has been in the news a lot, but should it be in the news as often as it is? Or is it just another gimmick?
I have no interest in a metaverse, just give me a good single player game. And to answer your question: no, it isn't.
Carbine Studios announced in September that the game would be shut down and that the studio would be closing. Since the announcement, players have been able to enjoy the full game without restriction and with a number of in-game events firing off for the last time.
WildStar offers epic high adventure, where players make their mark as Explorers, Soldiers, Scientists or Settlers and lay claim to a mysterious planet on the edge of known space.
