Nival Online's president discusses Russian MMOs
IGN has posted part one of a series taking a look at European RPG and MMO developers, beginning with Nival Online, Russia's number-one dev house. Nival's president, Sergey Orlovskiy discusses upcoming titles, like Allods Online, expected to arrive in Russia the first quarter of next year; rising development costs and how to manage them; the influence on the East of Western MMOs, and other interesting topics.
It's true that the Eastern market news tends to be dominated by China and Korea, and this is a shame, because Russia is on its way to becoming a major power in the MMO industry. Enjoy the interview!
