Manor Lords is one man's unusual take on the joys of managing a medieval city and, after garnering a whole lot of wishlists,PCG had the opportunity to sit down with Tim Bender, the CEO of publisher Hooded Horse, about working with solo developer Grzegorz Styczeń of Slavic Magic on the game, and how they're trying to manage the scrutiny and demands that come with success on this scale.
"It's not that we predicted ," says Bender."But if there had been half the number of players, it would still for all intents and purposes be the same: there would still be an absolute ton of people playing and giving feedback, and looking forward to things. "There's a lot of support in place here that's looking at the comments and stuff, we've got a QA firm there in place, we've got a community team that are monitoring sentiment, and there's information being provided," says Bender."But ultimately Greg's making the decisions and driving the development: he is the developer, he is deciding what gets done and what he agrees with.
