Avowed studio Obsidian wants to be able to make it to 100 years
We're just a few days away from playing Avowed, the new RPG from Obsidian Entertainment. You know, that team that brought us one of the best Fallout games of all time. With the studio's growing success, it seems the developer is keen to stay afloat for a very long time. Now, unless you're one of those people who got the Early Access version of the game, you'll be waiting on tenterhooks to dive into the world of Eora. In the meantime, Obsidian says it's got a 100-year plan in place, as noted by PC Gamer. According to Marcus Morgan, Vice President of operations, and Justin Britch, Vice President of development, the Avowed studio would like to be able to celebrate its centenary. This would take us up to 2125, which is about 150 years away from the events that took place in Fallout: New Vegas. A vow(ed) According to the report, Obsidian may be able to achieve this by maintaining its stance as a relatively successful developer; not one that's too big for its own boots, but also not one that's so small and unwilling to adapt that it disappears into obscurity. By sticking with projects that have a decent reputation with some "mild success," Morgan and Britch believe the team can keep investing in games that have more realistic sales expectations, but that are still worthy of note. Additionally, by maintaining its current staff culture, Obsidian could well be around for many more years. As PC Gamer notes, the likes of Nintendo have done this, having been founded in 1889. Of course, that company didn't start off specializing in video games. That would have been impressive, seeing as the technology wasn't around back then. We'll never know whether Obsidian Entertainment will still be in operation another 78 years from now, but we do know that if it continues to put out high-quality titles that do as well as they have, the studio will hopefully have the backing to keep going for a long while. I also know that I am slightly jealous of those who got a copy of Avowed early. The post Avowed studio Obsidian wants to be able to make it to 100 years appeared first on Destructoid.
