Chris Taylors 'dark side'
Chris Taylors 'dark side'Chris Taylor gave an interview to gamesindustry.biz and describes the funny and dark moments in being the CEO of a game developing studio.
"I had that dream really from the day I first walked into my first full time job as a games programmer. I wanted to be the guy running the company. I was a little foolish in that thinking, because the work it takes to run a company is a hundred times more than your imagination can even begin to speculate on.
I just didn't understand that running a games studio was getting away from the singular focus that you have when you're an individual working inside a company - your focus becomes so broad, you have to keep track of so many different things, and your day is not dictated by your own creative whim. Your day is instead dictated by the business demands.
"That's a little bit of the darker side, but on the positive side we've created our own original IPs consistently. Some are great, some are not so great, but the fact is you have to keep throwing darts at that board," he said.

And it seems there is at least one new secret project in the making:
Gas Powered Games is currently working on three new projects: the action RPG Demigod, a separate project already signed to a publisher, and a third title in the early stages of production.

Chris Taylor 的“灰暗面”
gamesindustry.biz最近对Chris Taylor进行了采访，Chris Taylor讲述了他在作为一名游戏开发工作室的CEO的时候的酸甜苦辣。
“当我第一次成为一名全职的游戏编程人员时，我就有那个梦想。我想成为运营这家公司的人。当时的我这么想有点蠢，因为实际上运营一家公司所消耗的精力将远远超出你所能想象和推测的。
我当时只是不知道运营一个游戏工作室会使自己失去焦点；当你只是在公司里干活的一个人时，你可以有自己的目标和焦点；而现在你的焦点如此宽泛，你必须随时了解很多不同的事。你的工作不是由你自己一时的随意想象决定的，你的具体工作安排将被商业需求所决定。
那可以算是灰暗面中的一部分，但是积极地说，我们一贯是创建我们自己的原始的IP的。有些很好，有些则不是，但事实是，你必须不停的追求你的目标。”，他说。

看起来至少有一个新的秘密项目在进行研发：
Gas Powered Games现在在着手三项新的项目：动作类RPG游戏 Demigod、一个已经安排给一个发行商的独立的项目、以及一个还处在早期命名阶段的作品。
