We've seen the birth of instant adventures, crafting rifts, massive world bosses, and one of the most social friendly games on the market today. A lot has happened in RIFT since it launched. I work on a bunch of other bits and bobs too such as mounts, dimension items, achievements etc. I’m the one who makes all the puzzles and does a lot of the work on Artifacts that are a huge collectible game within RIFT. I have been making games for over 30 years and I think if I was not allowed to actually make stuff in the game I would probably go crazy. But one of the most awesome things about Trion is that they let me do a lot of actual content creation too. This is my official job, the one Trion hired and pays me for. This means that all the designers report to me and I oversee a lot of the other day to day stuff required to make sure the design vision get executed on. My name is Simon Ffinch but I am known as Dead Simon to the RIFT community. Would you mind telling us a little about yourself and what you do at Trion Worlds? In true Scott fashion, 'A dev' turned into 'The Dev' as in the development director himself Simon Ffinch! It is with great pleasure that we share our findings with you in this short interview with the legendary Dead Simon. I wrote my friend Scott Hartsman and begged him to let me interview one of his devs about this mystical expansion on it's way to RIFT. If done right you'll have adrenaline pumping through your veins and you'll be begging for more.Īlas, the more I searched for information on these mystical fortress sieges the less information I found.

Whether it's PvP or PvE there's nothing better than pushing an enemy fortress and waiting for those doors to fall to unleash hell on your enemy.

It was two simple words that turned my curiosity into anticipation and those two words were 'Fortress Sieges'. I skimmed the feature list and stopped on one line in particular that widened my eyes and raised my curiosity. When news of the RIFT Expansion landed on my desk, I was eager to see what they were doing next. But Trion Worlds isn't done yet! They also have an expansion for ArcheAge and RIFT rapidly approaching. They launched Devilian in North America, revealed their new title Atlas Reactor, and are well on their way to bringing Trove to consoles. This year has been a very big year for Trion Worlds.
