The interview features Lead Animator Tom Tobey and Art Director Bruce Sharp fielding questions about their work on <em>PotBS</em>, and there are a few hints in this article of things that may not have been discovered yet, even now, a few weeks into release.<br /><br />There are things they mention that a lot of players will already have found, but some are probably still a mystery. The most interesting of these is the talk of an island that is not marked on the world map, with no clues given as to what might be waiting there. There are also some features that look to have been left out in the current build of the game, like the ability to change your body type at character creation (which sounds small, but I know people that have said they wished it was there). It does seem as though Tobey and Sharp have plenty of ideas still up their sleeves, and hopefully a lot more of their work will make it into the game in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/01/31/potbs-devlog-the-road-to-v1-1-ships-and-ship-combat/">future patches</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/02/04/potbs-lead-animator-and-art-director-interviewed/">PotBS lead animator and art director interviewed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 04 Feb 2008 23:10:00 EST.
