Press Releases - DebiK on Interview

We have the creator of game, DebiK on interview. We asked him over 10 questions and we got long answers to them, expect to the first question but anyway. This is the first real interview on our Grand Prix Express. So enjoy! Reporter: Let's start with regular thing, please introduce yourself. DebiK: My name is Frantisek Debnar, I am 31 years old and come from Slovakia. Reporter: We know that you are doing some work on real life. What is this work and do you have dream working full-time on MRC? And what this dream needs for come true? DebiK: Actually MRC being my full time job is not my dream. I hope I would be able to reduce some of my regular job workload, and get more time to improve My Racing Career. I also have plans for some more projects. But I don`t have enough time to proceed with all of the plans at the moment. It depends on how much income can My Racing Career generate, so I can take care of my family at least the same way as if I am just a full-time worker in my job. Reporter: What's your favorite sport? And do you have any favorite athletes? DebiK: Currently my favourite sport is American Football, I am huge fan of Baltimore Ravens. But of course I like motorsport, my sister and my father are rally drivers in Slovakia. I like ice-hockey, soccer, baseball... But I can watch any kind of sport if there is a side to root for. Reporter: What is planned during this year? DebiK: Well there is a lot planned for this year. First of all, and most important for My Racing Career managers is Formula 1. We need to launch that so we can offer the highest level of racing to our managers. We also want to start many more series like Indy Car, Touring Cars, NASCAR, and many more.... We also would like to add some special events like Nations Cup or Race of the Champions. There are plans to start some kind of national motorsport associations which would take care of some country management like suggesting new series calendar, nominate drivers for Nations Cup. We also would like to start some kind of racing clans. Put together few drivers and drive against other such a clan. Build a clan car, improve it and so on. And of course there are a lot of things to optimize and improve in this game. Reporter: Next car class will be IndyCar. Can you tell us something about it and have you some plans after that? DebiK: As I mentioned before the main focus is on starting Formula 1, but there is a lot to do to be able to start it. We would like the team owners to have full control of the team including searching for sponsors, develop the car and similar stuff. And we want to do it well, so it might take an extra season or so. So it is very probable that next season after Indy Car, some kind of Touring Car series will come... Reporter: New design launched yesterday. Do you have something to say about it to users? DebiK: First of all there were 2 groups of managers here. Some liked the old design and they were not very happy to hear about new design plans, because they already have experiences from other games, how radically the design can be changed and spoil the things they liked. On the other hand we had managers who did not like the old version and they would prefer a change. So we tried not to change the whole thing too much. At least key screens stays very similar. Just a website navigation went through big changes. Reporter: Some users waits new LIVE broadcast for races. Do you know when it could come or can you tell us something about what's kind it will be? DebiK: Well of course don`t expect 3D TV kind live broadcast. I think the amount of work would not be worth the result. Managers likes to race as much as possible, so they would not have time to watch every race everyday and spend hours doing that. You can expect seeing positions of cars on the track map. In qualifications you will simply see the drivers doing their qualification laps in random order. The main focus will be on drivers table showing the sector times and final times. Races will be tougher task. It would not be so easy to show all drivers on track map, but there will be something like that. And you will watch race commentary and laps standings similar to current race progress report. Just there will be noaction by you required. Reporter: Have you thought about making changes to game engine in the future? And what's kind of changes they will be? DebiK: There will not be too much changes in game engine. Of course we will optimize the settings and so on. And possibly add some new features and strategy options. Reporter: Do you have something plans for making community closer than never before? And what do you think about current community? DebiK: The current community is not bad, but I see this as a current weakness in this game. I hope clans and national motorsport associations can help this issue. Reporter: And some short questions for now before last question & last answer. Winter or Summer? DebiK: I don`t know... Both... Blond or Brunet? DebiK: Blonde... But my girlfriend is brunet so both.... Vine or Liqueur? DebiK: I don`t really like alcohol, so please bring the blonde with the bottle and I don`t care ;P Reporter: And for last. What do you would like to say for all managers? DebiK: Hm... I promise you would never hear me whining about not having enough income to run the game for you. I would rather postpone some development and focus on mu regular job to earn money and in worse case I would remove some unnecessary functions which are available for everybody now and put it to list of Superlicense functions to save resources... Thanks to everybody who supported us! And that was DebiK, hope so you enjoyed about this interview and now you know something new about DebiK and about the game. Good luck for your races everyone! :)
