22/11/2011 - You have to start somewhere right
You have to start somewhere right? How long have you been working on Fallen Earth? I‘ve been working on Fallen Earth for a year and some change. How did you get involved with your job position? Well, I actually started here as a World Builder Intern. Our art director asked if anyone would be willing to do some storyboards and I jumped at the first opportunity. Soon after I was hired as a full-time concept artist. What type of college courses or schooling did you have to prepare you for your position at Fallen Earth? I actually went to an art school for 3d Animation where they glossed over everything dealing with the production pipeline. It has helped me immensely in every job I‘ve done here. What in particular inspired you to work in the gaming industry? I‘ve always enjoyed video games and what could be cooler than saying " Oh yeah.. I worked on that game." I think the creation process never gets old and there is always something new everyday. What games stand out in your memory for positive reasons? I think Halo 2. Wow.. what a game. I bought that game before I even OWNED an Xbox. On an average day, what do you do at Fallen Earth? I sit here painting and drawing all day. I Couldn‘t ask for anything else. What is your favorite:Game: Halo 2Book: Tuesday‘s with MorrieSong: At the moment it‘s "The Bringer" by Soilwork It changes every month.Season: SummerPast time: Disc Golf, Sketching, Playing guitarDrink: CokeColor: red ( Maybe that‘s why I love Coca Cola. )Food: Lemon Pepper Chicken..

 

My desk.Faction: Techs Do you:roleplay? Nope.. Only for Halloween. I like to get into characterhave any pets?: Indeed. A 1yr old Boston Terrorist... I mean Terrier.like beer or wine?: Beer for sure. Stella Artoislike coffee or tea?: Coffeelike cake or pie?: Mayonnaise Cake. Yeah.. I know.. You have to try itCoke or Pepsi?: Already answered that one.. lol Coke all the way.Pizza or Hamburgers?: Oooo..that‘s a tough one.. Pizza.Chocolate or Ice Cream?: One step farther..

 

Vanilla Ice Cream WITH my mayonnaise cake.Boxers or Briefs? Boxers Have you ever styled/had a mullet? Oh man did I ever. McGyver was my hero growing up. If you could have one wish what would it be? To have a million wishes.. DUH! Name one thing you would take to an abandoned island and why? A survivor kit. Does the Landshark really exist? Other kids at school tell me it‘s a lie. Not a stinking clue...and I even work here. There are urban legends going around the office about the possible existence of a such creature. By the sounds of it .. I thought it would be cool to have one as a pet. Are you willing to headset be bribed for an alpha spot and what would it take? You would have to kill me.. Where me as a body suit and steal my identity. I don‘t think it is worth the risk to be honest with you.

19/11/2011 - What type of college courses or schooling
I‘m most passionate about designing custom environments that are big on personality, have character to them, and anything with unique architecture. I would say most of my inspiration comes from exploring real world places and memories from all the different places that I went to as a child. Sometimes, just imagining the places that I really wish existed! I try and gain as much knowledge as I can from other professionals and designers in entertainment design, including many of the colleagues that I‘ve been blessed to work with in the past who continue to push my work further.

 

What type of college courses or schooling did you have to prepare you for your position at Fallen Earth? I have a dual B.A. in English and Theatre Studies and a M.A. in Teaching Secondary English. What in particular inspired you to work in the gaming industry? I love gaming! I‘ve been gaming since I was in my early teens and continue to spend far too many hours a week immersed in PC, console, and PnP games. What games stand out in your memory for positive reasons? World of Warcraft is such a juggernaut, I think it has to be acknowledged. Even if some gamers don‘t care for the game itself, the amount of public awareness that it‘s brought to the gaming community is notable. Personally, I enjoy it and have many fond memories (old and new) of leveling characters, exploring, and late-night raids with my guild. I‘m always interested to see what design concepts the Blizzard gang has been able to implement.

 

The other game that stands out in my memory is the original 1988 Pools of Radiance with the copy protection secret decoder wheel. That was the first "real" computer RPG I ever played. What advice would you give to budding games / software developers? Having interesting ideas is important, but you need to be able to communicate them effectively. Not just writers, but also programmers, scripters, and artists are expected to be able to provide intelligible documentation and the occasional written proposal. The other bit of advice I have is to not just play games, but to create games. Whether it‘s a pen and paper RPG or a module for an existing computer game, get in there and get your hands dirty. The best way to learn is to practice cheapest aion gold ! On an average day, what do you do at Fallen Earth?
