Sharky Extreme: If this game is successful and gains a following, like FallOut for example, can we expect to see additional titles in the series? Do you think there are more adventures in this world?

Leonard Boyarsky: We would love to continue making games in the Arcanum world. When we started this project, we came up with the world, and really fleshed out how it worked politically, economically, what it's history was, etc. to make it feel as real as possible. Only then did we create a story to occur in the world. This has given us a great world to create further stories in. In other words, our world doesn't revolve around our story. In future games we could come up with a completely different story involving completely different characters, and still have it feel like Arcanum.

Sharky Extreme: Would you want to take the fantasy element perhaps to the next era, maybe an alternate 1920's with gangsters, prohibition and more urban settings?

Leonard Boyarsky: Hmmm, that's an interesting idea...

Sharky Extreme: Thanks for taking the time to chat with us today, Leonard!
