Dev Q&A
¶ Where are you from?
- Sydney, Australia.
¶ What other hobbies do you have?
- Computers & Technology, Karate (Shinkyokushinkai), Reading (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Geopolitical Espionage), Writing, Theatre & The Arts.
¶ What other games do you play?
- Fantasy, Science Fiction, Apocalyptic and Espionage RPGs and 4X mainly.
¶ What is your favorite thing to work on for SS2? and why?
- I really enjoyed writing my Concord resettlement characters (Alyssa, The Thompsons and Caleb.) It was my first real writing assignment, and it was personally very challenging. I enjoyed a significant amount of personal growth during the process and ultimately it was very rewarding.
¶ What was the most difficult thing you worked on in SS2 and why?
- Kinggath asked me to design the holiday decoration system. I initially thought, sure, a month or two tops! In the end it took nine months. I seriously underestimated how much work it would take but I am very happy with the result.
¶ Do you have a story about working on SS2 that you'd like to share?
- We have team members from all over the world. It must be a nightmare for Kinggath to organize team meetings that suit everyone. As I’m in Australia Sunday team meetings would actually be Monday in my time zone. I would like to tell everyone that I was a time traveler calling in from the near future!
¶ What's next for you?
- I realized recently that I mod now to make the game I want to play. Once Chapter 3 of Sim Settlements is complete then I will have the FO4 that I want to play and will build a huge load order and just play it through. Well, at least until I break the load order by adding new mods. I’m also going to go back to my add-on and finish it off. Still many plots to finish. I have some many skills now through modding that I can play in new areas!
