A group of gaming industry veterans have started a new studio with technology company NetEase. Called T-Minus Zero, the developer has ambitious plans for a new multiplayer sci-fi project, though most of its details are still under wraps. The core focus of the new game will be facilitating an online community and creating a multiplayer space in which players can connect with one another in ways that aren’t possible with solo titles.
The idea for T-Minus Zero came from Rich Vogel, who previously built up three other gaming studios in his career: Sony Online Entertainment Austin, BioWare Austin, and BattleCry, a Bethesda Games Studio. He’s overseen countless multiplayer experiences over the years, including Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies, considered one of the best Star Wars games to date. Vogel has partnered with other veterans for T-Minus Zero including Mark Tucker, a developer with over two decades of experience that include other online experiences like Fallout 76.
Screen Rant sat down with studio head and founder Rich Vogel and studio game director and founder Mark Tucker to discuss how the studio came together, their years of experience, and what the future holds for T-Minus Zero’s first title.
Screen Rant: To get started, I would love to hear a little bit about where the idea for this new studio first started,how long has this been in the works for you?
Yeah, the team you’ve assembled is really impressive. Can you talk a little bit about sort of the process behind putting this group together in the first place?
