“…We need in order to compete with the upcoming releases of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Elder Scrolls VI.” Paraphrasing, he said in his email to “X”…

He did review his original pitch email with us, but as far as I can recall, the last one slipped out on his own.ĭistinctly, I remember him pushing our reps at the publisher for more money than they initially offered (from what I understand, not entirely uncommon). What happened next is fuzzy, but Vijay would have the habit of sending emails out late at night, directly to “X”, without CC’ing our email addresses, or talking with us first. We all deferred to his judgment when it came to pitching and publisher decisions. He has 80 game releases under his belt, as producer and/or in the pitching phase.

We were practically finishing each others’ sentences - a good sign! I had updated our pitch deck before the call, and the types of game mechanics they were looking for pretty much mirrored on the pitch we had already built before talking to them. We did a virtual meeting with them (over a lunch break for me), and we seemed to hit it off well. “X” were very interested in what we were offering, and though not traditionally known for RPGs, that was a sector they were trying to expand into.

All in all, it’s a rather disheartening story of internal clashes, tanked publisher negotiations, and a general lack of professionalism and enthusiasm for the project.Īnd this press buzz led to our first serious publisher contender reaching out to us. However, there is now this extensive Medium article from the guy who actually got the ball rolling on that whole project, where he talks about his experiences working on The Wayward Realms now that he’s no longer a part of the team. If you’re a fan of the older entries in The Elder Scrolls series, you’re probably aware that some of the original developers behind it have recently founded OnceLost Games with the goal of creating The Wayward Realms - a modernized spiritual successor to Daggerfall.
