Born far-Easterner by circumstance, not descent. Played Marathon for Mac, X-Wing, Escape Velocity. Went to the University of Chicago and discovered Vendetta Online. Lived in Colorado for a year, rode Crested Butte for 70 days. Worked as a Geoscientist. I have always enjoyed designing games; would love to do it for a living.

Vendetta Online is a lot of fun. It's grown in many ways over the years, but where it still truly shines (its golden heart) is the PvP; it's realtime, physics-based. A 1v1 versus a skilled player can feel like... an intense saber duel, where it's …

It's honestly just a progress bar; not like that's a bad thing. The writing can catch up

It's interesting that when this thread was created it meant 'in the last 6 years'; the majority of the replies now imply 'in the last 20 years'. Anyway, epic thread. Hasn't been one like since... 2010!

On the arcade spectrum (and I mean... really arcade, but in a great way). "Distance" is not to be missed. It's sci fi... with... you know... an aesthetic. It's among my all-time favorites, of any genre. Now, somewhat dated, but with a map edi…

...and, what a name! (it scratches a particular mental itch when someone's name fits a particular corporate role). Good for her.

I just like that Open World Player versus Player translates to "ow, PvP!" I am a PvP player ...I have the reflexes of a nine year old cat

It's certainly a different landscape, but from a player's perspective I wouldn't complain that there are 'too many games'.

"Wrecks to riches"... oh lawd. That's basically their business model, isn't it?

I met a Star Citizen at a Kava bar, once. He tried to get me to join his corp, or something. Somewhat religiously zealous... but I feel ya, space brother.

Off-the-wall suggestion, but have you tried Death Stranding? It's like the Un-MMO. Very meta, and profound. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite games, ever, and certainly the most unique I've played in a very long time. Playing it for a …

Just wanted to plug my favorite space sandbox: There are a lot of videos out there, but this one has fairly high production quality and mentions some long term crafting goals (cap ships) alongside several cool battle scenes

I'm interested in the concept of music in video games, very generally. It seems very interdisciplinary, as was hinted at in the interview. I'm told music can take a lot of storage, so I'm sure it's also a balancing act between 'how much' and 'what…

So... the text isn't synthesized, but the voices are? That's pretty impressive, either way. I really wonder about the nuts and bolts of giving every single NPC a unique timbre. The emotion of the dialog really came through, as well.

I wouldn't say this is in my top ten, but donning film student persona it's "noteworthy": Last and First Men the only movie published, posthumously, by Icelandic director Johan Johansson, I managed to catch on Amazon's "Shudder" of all places la…

Champie said: I have no experience in most MMO's, but I have much experience in one particular MMO that nobody else here plays, or even knows about. Salem (The Crafting MMO) has had 2 Expedition Servers since 2012. First was in 2015, the last …

If a game allows you to create alts, I feel there should be some meaning behind it; I guess I disagree with a design philosophy of 'one character can do it all'; this doesn't necessarily have to be based on 'character class', either: it could simply…
