Interview with Rick Saada.

I’ve written before about Castle of the Winds, one of my all-time favorite PC games. (It’s freely available now — try it out!) On Thursday Gamasutra published an interview with Rick Saada, the game’s author, about his history in the industry. Apparently he’s now working on a new project:

The idea would eventually develop into Pirates of the Burning Sea, an MMO set in the Caribbean in 1720 that combines ship combat with the ability for players to explore sea and land areas. “It’s been several years of steady work and growth,” says Saada, “and at this point we’ve got over 50 people pushing towards a June release.”
