RA Salvatore, fantasy author and now game writer is interviewed by Gamasutra about the upcoming BigWorld-powered title from 38 Studios, codenamed Copernicus :
So, what is your role on the Copernicus and Mercury projects? Are you world-building? Are you getting down into the nitty-gritty of actually writing the script?
R. A. Salvatore: At this point I’m world-building. When I came in, I took the basic idea that Curt and his gang wanted to do an MMO, and I turned it into an MMO for them. I created a very detailed history of the world and created all the different regions with a team.
