Welcome to Project: Gorgon!


Project: Gorgon is a 3D fantasy MMORPG (massively-multiplayer online role-playing game) that features an immersive experience that allows the player to forge their own path through exploration and discovery. We won't be guiding you through a world on rails, and as a result there are many hidden secrets awaiting discovery. Project: Gorgon also features an ambitious skill based leveling system that bucks the current trend of pre-determined classes, thus allowing the player to combine skills in order to create a truly unique playing experience.

The Project: Gorgon development team is led by industry veteran Eric Heimburg. Eric has over a decade of experience working as a Senior and Lead Engineer, Developer, Designer and Producer on successful games such as Asheron’s Call 1 and 2, Star Trek Online and other successful Massively Multiplayer Online Games.

    What's in a Name?

    As my first post and while I wait for the download to finish, I have to ask, What's in a name? Why "Project: Gorgon?" Is there any meaning behind it?

    The use of the word Project denotes that it is a "working title" or "production title", which is a common practice in both entertainment and software industries.

    The Gorgon is a key figure in the lore of the world of Alharth, one of the few things we know about it, is that it is believed it can turn people to stone.

    "Over the past four years, Sandra and I have actually prototyped quite a few MMOs and MMO-like entities. They all had the same pattern: we’d start them during a lull in our contracting, then we’d get a juicy game contract, and when the contract was over, the project had gotten cold. So we’d wait a while, then start a new project. Rinse, repeat.

    Why did they die? Because when we got back to them, we realized they kinda sucked. Taking time away from them made it easy to see the major flaws. That is, up until the last one: it didn’t seem majorly flawed when we got back to it.

    This last prototype, code-named Frontier, is the MMO we talked about on the blog before. Even after a long hiatus, it still feels fresh and interesting.
