Rapid Reality Co-Founder Adam Ghetti Declares War on Mainstream MMOs
Like many adolescents, 19 year-old Adam Ghetti’s a creature of contradiction. The one thing we can’t wrap our heads around, though: As co-founder and senior creative director of Atlanta-based MMO development start-up Rapid Reality, LLC, he’s got this whole industry thing a bit backwards.
After all, whereas contemporaries at larger outfits like Blizzard and NCSoft prefer to do it big, Ghetti and his cohorts – including head software architect Rick Wells and partner/father Marc Ghetti – think small… real small. In keeping with this philosophy, they formed a privately funded company of 37 people 2 ˝ years ago with one single goal: Produce high-quality MMOs in ludicrously short (6 to 8-month) development cycles. And, for that matter, market and sell access to these titles for one flat – and shockingly reasonable – monthly fee via wholly-owned online portal MMOCenter.com (www.mmocenter.com).
