GameVortex Stargate Worlds Interview

"GDC has visited Austin for its second year and has brought with it the wanted gluttony of free t-shirts, stress balls, and glorious swag. One of the cool things about these conferences is the ability to take a few minutes to speak to people with whom you would not normally have the opportunity. My few minutes was with Fire Sky’s Joe Ybarra who is currently Senior Vice President of Strategic Operations. Joe’s taxi pulled out and an older man got out and came into the lobby of the Hilton. Though not very big in physical stature, when he stuck his hand out and began to speak, he was an explosion of energy and enthusiasm.
We sat down and ordered a Coke and I wasted no time letting him know that I was a rabid fan of the Stargate series. I was really surprised to find out that he had really done his homework on this project and knew what was going on in the series, as well as the major and minor characters. Think about that for a second. At the VP level, it is more about budget and buzz words than in the trenches writing story and design. To know as much as he did proved to me right off the bat that they were taking this project seriously."
