Horizons Developer Journal

Voodoo Extreme has posted their second installment of a Developer Journal from Artifact Entertainment, creators of the upcoming MMORPG Horizons. The journal addresses various questions that fans have been asking due to Artifact’s partnership with NCSoft:

Q) Why would NCsoft want to release a competitor’s product into their marketplace?

A) They’re not. Through this partnership they are joining forces in what we hope will be a revolution in MMOGs. It’s a win-win situation. They now have the ability to distribute and support the extremely large Asian market’s craving with a next-gen MMORPG- a market that no American developed MMORPG has been able to gain widespread access to. Artifact Entertainment, on the other hand, gains the experience of a company who has been through this all before on a very large scale. That experience will be absolutely priceless to us and will help prepare us for the rapid growth in the market place we are expecting. We’re very proud that a company such as NCsoft could see the possibilities of HORIZONS as we see it, and wanted to be apart of that. It’s a great honor for us and brings validity to all the hard work our team has been doing.
