We've drawn on competitive knowledge from Paragon, but also from players of other games like HotS and SMITE which have mature esports. We're available to associate with orgs that are just growing, and help them grow, and give them the support they need to throw events. We aren't a huge company that has to protect our image and not associate with new or unproven orgs. They did focus on the competitive, but as an indie team we can afford to be much close to our competitive players. It's community first here with Fault.ДЄ second thing is that Paragon had so much amazing potential they could have killed some of the current big games out there that have esports. We did the restructure and minion rework to focus on the people we already had. When we did our EA release, there were FPS issues: and we decided to stop working on our HUD and marketing to focus 100% on getting those issues fixed. The heads of each department talk to players and take their feedback directly. We have that flexibility: we play to the strengths of being indie by being much closer to our community. We believe that close and continuous contact with the community is the best way to grow this type of game, and it needs to be backed up by flexibility in the team to respond to what the community is saying. We are proud to be standing on the shoulders of giants. We loved Paragon, and much of the gameвЂ™s philosophy is alive in Fault - though our execution is fundamentally different as an indie company, and by having the benefit of hindsight. Being an indie company with an early access product, we can afford to focus solely on gameplay and our depth. What indie companies invest is a crapton of time, because they don't have money!ДЄnd when they do, they get sucked right into their game. Just like any AAA studio, they invest a lot of money into their product and need to make that back. When making Paragon, Epic was in a position where being flexible and responding to everything the community was asking for was difficult. We do use the assets from the game we loved! We're making our own game here our first as Strange Matter Studios. Ryan Red: Fault isn't trying to remake Paragon that's a big thing that a lot of people get mixed up. Softmints: What is Fault going to do that Paragon didn't?
