Acclaim's Top Secret MMO Story Continues David Perry talks about what it means to run a development team	By Filip Truta, Games Editor 1st of March 2007, 16:35 GMT Adjust text size:


Confusion suddenly struck people after the announcement of Acclaim's Top Secret MMO project, so David Perry let Gamespot know a few of the details about running a development team of "more than 1,000 people": "The moderators will pull them together as far as keeping them focused. We'll take votes on it; sometimes we'll have people coming in to help decide the winner of something. The most important thing is we'll be directing this so it's not just a crazy forum of people talking about random stuff. The goal is to try and keep them all going forward. We'll be working through the individual milestones just like a professional game. We're starting with a prototype and they're all going to get copies of that, like a build so they can play at home, and get more ideas and talk about that as we move forward to get to the next milestone." You're probably still in the blur but to refresh your memory, here's a piece of the actual press release about the "secret project": "Acclaim Games and video game industry superstar David Perry have partnered to present the ground-breaking 'Top Secret' project. In this project, players actually get an opportunity to participate in the entire video game development process from start to finish. In an unprecedented move for the game industry, these players will be given a chance to have their work featured in a massively multiplayer PC game that will be published by Acclaim and directed by David Perry." So then who's getting a fat pay check out of the whole deal? Restless gamers that have had their touch implemented in the game will surely ask for something in return. Sure, some of them will be happy with just a little fame but not all of them, so what is Acclaim going to do then? Knock on every door and tell mom to get little Johnny for them 'cause he has some money to pick up?
