A longtime MMO player, Schilling is dedicated to entering the gaming
industry with the same drive and commitment to success he has demonstrated
in his baseball career. "I've had a passion for gaming as long as I can
remember and I've always known this was something I wanted to do one day,
and today is that day. My goal is to not just enter the marketplace but to
reach the apex."
For Schilling, the chance to work with McFarlane and Salvatore is the
culmination of years of planning. "Publishing great games has more to do
with the people you have on board than it does with the cash and ideas you
bring to the table. With that in mind, I conceived a plan years ago in
which I envisioned a 'dream team' of talent. If I was going to create the
funniest, coolest, and best game I could, who would I want from a creative
standpoint? At the top of my list were Todd McFarlane and R.A. Salvatore,
and it's a dream come true that they have agreed to join Green Monster
Games in the production of our first title."
GMG will be a collaboration based on the combined strengths of every
employee. Says Schilling: "The great thing about our approach is that we
each understand what we bring to the table. We have begun to assemble a
team of the smartest, brightest, and most creative design people in the
world, made up of both veterans and those new to the industry. Our
character and commitment will be tangible in every facet of the company,
from art, design, audio, and programming to the appreciation we show to our
customers."
Schilling says GMG is dedicated to raising the bar in the world of
online gaming. "The challenge is not simply in publishing a game, but in
publishing a game that changes the landscape of the online marketplace. Our
company motto is 'If you can't do it better than it's ever been done
before, work for someone else."
GMG is currently looking for talented, driven, accountable, and
responsible people with a passion to create games better than anyone has
ever done it before. Green Monster Games will release more details on their
first project in the near future. Their upcoming company website
[http://www.greenmonstergames.net] will be the first step in establishing
GMG's presence in the online gaming world.
"We are excited about the future of the industry and even more excited
that we will be a part of it, and help shape it for years to come," says
Schilling. "We look forward to proving that to every gamer on the planet."
