Incredible: It has been announced that OFP is due for release in year 2006. Why does it take such a long time to make the game and what parts of the development process are most time consuming?
Marek Spanel: It´s very difficult and ambitious project and we want to bring our game to second level in every aspect possible. You shall be prepared for many surprises in next year or two in relation to the game. But despite anything that may happen I can ensure you we´re working hard to deliver high quality game again once it´s finished. But time is for us less important than complexity and quality.
