God & Heroes team member Richard has a new blog for the week talking about the new website launch.

What an exciting week...

Deo was kind enough to let me hijack his blog this week so I could comment on all that has gone on this week. First of we launched our new website which was a long time coming, and somewhat overdue. This was a huge undertaking by the team and it turned out even better than I was expecting. Over the next few weeks and months we will continue to add new content as we move toward beta and launch. Next I want to say how excited I am to have Sony Platform Publishing as our Co-Publisher. For me this goes beyond what they can do from a Marketing and PR perspective but I also get the opportunity to work with old friends from Origin in Austin ( our new Marketing Director was on Ultima Online for many years ).

I am sure some of you have also seen the GameSpot interview from the SOE Press event where we had the opportunity to show the press how far the game has come since we showed it at E3 last year. Stieg did a quick talk about the demo we had been working on for the event which we then got to show to everyone. We talked to a lot of press and we took some pictures while we were there. We are going to try and get those pictures posted early next week. We had a lot of fun doing demos and talking about the game, which we have not had the opportunity to do in some time. We had dragged several members of our development team along with us to show off the game. After all, who better to talk about the game than the people building it?


And if all this was not enough, next week we will be introducing a new member of our community team to work with Deo. I am will let him introduce himself next week, but I expect many of you will know who he is. When he contacted me a while back about how he was excited about Gods & Heroes I knew we had to get him on board. He is one of the most experienced community managers I have worked with and we are extremely excited he will be part of the team.

Anyway, I have been pretty busy over the last few months and with Deo doing a great job on the forums I have not had much of a chance to post. So I figured I would drop in, make a quick post, and run and let Deo deal with anything I was not supposed to say. Enjoy the new site and we look forward to bringing you more and more each week!

Take care

Richard
