Sheltem's identity revealed. First 3DO and then Ubisoft. It's his fault!! :D



That's really excellent read. More producers like JVC please. He truly stands his words.

How come they didn't talk about HoMM :( I'm curious what JVC's thinks about current state of MM and Heroes especially since he wanted to make MM online and now Ubi is doing it.

I love reading JVC interviews, even though they make my heart ache with nostalgia. Sigh, sigh, if only 3DO had sold NWC as a single entity.

I'm 100% sure that is not what he wanted. He wanted o make an MMORPG, not two cash-cow browser strategies.
Make you strong places to dwell and practice the evil of your arts. Build great monuments to stand through the ages and remind your followers of the task with which you have been charged. Use these halls of iniquity to perpetrate your schemes against the infestation that has taken the fields and lakes of this land from you, their rightful masters. Never forget the hatred that must finally overcome and consume mankind. Dwell in your dungeons and brood. - Sheltem the Dark
