2001年10月的消息
2001年10月27日
巫術八歷經九年多的風風雨雨, 也終於宣佈, 要在11月15日至式發行了. 但很可能, 這是Sir-tech最後的一次巫術......
Sir-tech Canada, Robert Sirotek作出簡短的四個回應"
Q1. 歐洲的玩家還真欠運......
RPGDot: Wizardry 8 will be released november
15th in North America; what about other
territories (except Poland & Russia, which
already have a publisher)? Are you still
looking for publishers in Europe and Australia?
Robert Sirotek: We have licensing agreements
in place for many countries, but nothing
yet for Europe. We have someone for
Australia.
Q2. 表明Sir-tech已步向終點......
RPGDot: What about Sir-Tech's future now? About
6 weeks ago you told me, you will
close down and that Ian & Linda
Currie have left or about to leave
the company. You also said that a
handful of Sir-Tech employees will take
care of Wizardry 8 support. Now I
see Linda still around the boards as
a Sir Tech representative. Has anything
changed? Will Sir-Tech continue business?
Robert Sirotek: Wizardry 8 will be supported,
but Sirtech will close down. Wizardry 8
will be the last product it will
ever produce, but it certainly is the
finest product it has produced.
Q3. 巫術或JA, 將不會再是Sir-tech的產品, 如果還有新作的話......
RPGDot: And what about Wizardry 9 or other
future projects such as Jagged Alliance
3? You said, if you don't find funding,
you stop development, which happened some
weeks ago. Will we despite see a
Wizardry 9? Did you or will you sell
the Wizardry or Jagged Alliance trademark
to another company?
Robert Sirotek: The brand names for Wizardry
and Jagged Alliance are owned by us.
We will engage in discussions with anyone
willing to consider purchasing the trademarks.
Otherwise, it is doubtful anyone will ever
see another Wizardry or Jagged Alliance.
Q4. 廿二年的生涯, 是時侯休息一下, 陪陪家人......
RPGDot: What else is happening with you
and other Sir-Tech employes?
Robert Sirotek: I am licensing off Wizardry
8 to publishers in available countries
and peacefully closing the company. Then
I will take a break for a few
months (haven't done this since I started
in the software industry 22 years ago),
spend a few nice moments with my
family, and decide what I want to
do.
More news on the Sirtech employees may
follow.
簡簡單單的回應, 卻讓人看後滿感唏噓...
二十多年來, Sir-tech從沒有跟華麗拉上任何的關係, 就算離去的一刻,
也是靜悄悄的, 不留痕跡...
Sir-tech就如鏡般湖面上泛起的漣渏, 沒有引動令人激情的一刻,
但長久以來留下的影響力, 卻無遠弗屆.
能夠讓一眾巫迷守等十年, 不離不棄, 為什麼巫術能有如此凝聚力?
這或許是玩家的期盼, 對好遊戲的期盼; 這或許是玩家的一份情,
對巫術的一份情; 但這些都是建基於Sir-tech恒久的堅持,
對從不馬虎, 凡事指向完美的堅持. 雖然一眾員工離去了,
但唯一沒有留下的, 就是這一份堅持. 巫八能順利發行,
就是他們的努力而得來的成果.
再次, 感謝他們!
