Game news Even though it ‘will look like shit,’ this World of Warcraft veteran will finally reveal his own MMO in absolute fear of internet users’ judgment
One of the biggest challenges when developing a video game, regardless of genre, is confronting players’ initial opinions, especially since today’s harsh comments tend to be quickly dismissed. . In a while, this MMO veteran will take the plunge: he already knows what to expect but he doesn’t lose hope of getting positive feedback, and that’s why he decided to take the risk of transparency.
The difficult exercise of revealing a video game
Creating a video game is not an easy undertaking, but there is a step in the same process that is even less easy to accomplish: revelation to the general public. For a large number of developers, this is a stressful time to endure, especially because it involves confronting player reactions for the very first time. For a few months now, a former veteran of Blizzard and Riot, with a nice CV in MMOs, has been working on his next massively multiplayer online game. As he indicated on Twitter, we should soon see the prototype of this new title codenamed “Ghost”.
As promised, we’re going to share more about our game, code named Ghost, and I need y’all to not freak out about what a game in prototype looks like
We are trying to strike the right balance between saying we are early, without sending the message sry it’s going to be 10 years

As promised, we’re going to share more about our game, codenamed Ghost, and I need you to not be scared off by the appearance of a prototype game. We’re trying to find the right balance between saying “we’re early”, without sending the message “sorry, we’ll have to wait 10 years”.
The choice of name is not accidental since it is surely in reference to the pseudonym of Greg Street, the creator of the game in question, which is none other than “Ghostcrawler”. Coming back to this famous new project, Greg Street obviously appeals for the public’s understanding and wants people who see this prototype to be aware of what it is at the moment, even if he expects to be pointed out to him that he will have “ looks like shit “. While he has no problem with that and won’t worry about these comments, he explains that it’s the players’ feedback on what they like or don’t like that matters to him the most, especially for monitor the progress of the project.
The era of MMOs is far from over
At present, there is little information about this famous “Ghost” project. We barely know that it will be of a large-scale MMO (AAA) taking place in a “ new fantastic universe » led by a team of experienced developers. Casually, with this additional competitor, MMOs still remain surprisingly relevant, even if the news sometimes blows hot and cold, like the project led by Riot Games which was started from scratch, as the studio recently indicated. One of the other examples is the announcement of the return of a very big name in the MMO and This does not particularly please the players since among other things they are afraid that this will mean the end of the current opus which they hold so dear. Regardless, MMOs are still an integral part and expected projects of video gaming and if they are threatened, some players do not hesitate to take over to ensure its survival themselves.
