An interview with GunZ: The Duel engineer Yeong-Hwan Gim

[Ummagumma]

hey guys so on the 24th I'm flying to seoul for a big asia tour I have been planning for months. I am set to meet there Yeong-Hwan Gim who was a lead engineer of MAIET Entertainment and took part in the programming, developing and testing of GunZ: The Duel. if u have any questions you want me to ask him write here and I'll do my best to forward them to him. ill be sure to update here with his answers

[StephanM]

1. If he wants to do some work here too in his free time
2. Why they did not finish Scrider
3. What he thinks that was one of the most harder things to work on GunZ
4. If he is happy with the results of the amount of private servers

[Notorious]

Why did he sell gunz out poosc ole

[Bunny]

what's his opinion on whether the game could be revived from its dying state or not .-.

[Akimbo]

1. Why didn't MAIET deal with the hackers during ijji
2. What were the internal issues within the company that caused gunz to fail.
3. Why didn't MAIET cooperate with Aeria at all? (Aeria claimed that MAIET didn't even respond to them, and they aren't allowed to make any changes to the code so they couldn't fix bugs like deleting a clan)
4. There are several private servers out there that cater towards English speaking populations. Would there ever be an official english server of gunz?
5. Why was the reason why aeria gunz closed?
6. Does MAIET still make money off gunz?

1. MAIET wasn't the host, the sold the hosting rights to ijji so it was up to ijji to get more after the hackers and ask for a better anti cheat > cost more money
2. I know that MAIET mainly worked with a lot of interns, so it was sort of a massive college project in a way? Could be wrong
3. Same story with ijji I guess, only hosting rights
4. Pretty sure igunz was the official one back in the days
5. MAIET had nothing to do with the closing of Aeria, pretty sure Aeria (aka the host) just ****ed it up themselves as a shitty copy of ijji
6. No, MAIET closed their doors last year. 99% sure they sold the full rights of GunZ & GunZ

It's like you did not even do some research or some shit.
