Welcome to Gaia! :: Posts By User Unknown User | Forum

I can see the call to my wife, "I'm sorry honey, I'll be home late tonight. I'm getting an item... but you don't understand, it is so cool... mhm... I see... *click*"

I'll have to pass!

40k! I'd bit more, but that's all I have.

Great Thread! Thanks for the gold!

I want special developer rings and the ability to become like a monster so I can smash all the little .. err. .um. I think mounts would be fun, or a default attack which repeats without having to do anything, and then the rings would be special attacks, or a crafting system.. there is just so much that would be fun.


I like it, and I'd like to see what everybody thinks AFTER the update. smile I think as a whole the encounter will become more challenging because you'll have to worry about Landy AND all of the other monsters too. Because of that, it'll be more fun biggrin

Wow, it's been a while. This is the first time I've been to the forums in over a week because we've been so busy with the mini-events. I hope I don't miss any questions:


I like playing Soldier in TF2, or Medic if I'm playing with Bron, we just nuke everybody when that happens.

I really like L4D, especially what the DirectorAI does for the game, never a dull moment.


Meyham is the best guitar hero (hehe) on the team. He's very very good at playing guitar. I haven't played either of those in quite a while. Gaming slowed down a lot when #5 showed up. biggrin


The foos games are a lot of fun but they make terrible videos. You can't see the ball because the cameras can't record enough frames per second. sad


I do not know WHY they are there. I THINK that they are there as an extension of the angelic wings design... or something... /me looks around for someone from the art department.. hrm..


Wait, what.. we don't have to wear these?


I watched one of mini-events yesterday, it was awesome! They all died, and I laughed so hard. I guess it wasn't because they all died that I laughed, it was because they died over and over and over and over and over again!


Time alone with my wife.


Mac! and when I want to play windows games, I boot my mac into windows using bootcamp.


I don't see that far into the future. I do see mini-events getting released tho! (/me sings, "you're all gunna dieget dazed. you're all gunna dieget dazed." wink


The game is large and takes a while to regression test. If you find a glitch, it's not going to be fixed in the next push, but more likely the one after that if it's of high enough priority and we know about it. Look back at our launch schedules and you'll see that it's a couple weeks between them, so if you find something, it's probably going to be at least a month, probably more before it's fixed.

And we tend not to say we're fixing xyz because it keeps the drama to a minimum. If priorities change half way through fixing it and we have to do something else, people get upset, etc, etc. use your imagination here... wink


Probably last year when the company got smaller. It was a very sad day here. sad


Late October last year was pretty cool, when we launched the beta, and then we all went out to party. Was a lot of fun!


:-X -- dunno!


:-X -- dunno! (/me tries to drag an artist to the thread to answer this...)


I actually canceled my vacation last year because it was just before the launch. So I've not had a big vacation yet, I've had a day off, but that's it. I have a trip planned to go visit family for a week later this year.


Step 1: Collect Underpants
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!


Oh wow, it's either the censored or the uber cool censored. Sen, I think you'll like censored the best!


This is a good question, everybody always things you just model, then render an area and you're done. But that's not the case, you have to add story to the area, add sounds, get new sounds made, get monsters made (takes a lot of time), new quests, new loot, new badges, ou have to tie that zone into the storyline of the other zones, etc, etc, the list is huge. I'd say 4+ months for a good sized zone.


It's a joint effort from the writers, the art team, and the dev team. Mostly the first 2 tho. wink


Yeah, I'm responding here with bloody little nubs that used to be fingers... J/K


smile I hope you guys enjoy the events.


All will be revealed! Thanks for the post, it made me think of something that would have sucked, just fixed!


That's funny, I didn't know that about bron -- I totally love Breyers mint chocolate chip ice cream. I _really_ like good warm chocolate chip cookies and milk. Or german chocolate cake in a bowl of milk.. mmm


Gah! That's 6 more weeks on the schedule! *sigh*


I *think* it was the art team, because they felt there wasn't enough ambiance / life in the world.


:-X Oh Frank -- not gunna touch this one.


The art team came up with the null fluff. And word has it that you'll see it in zOMG someday. :-X

Well, that's it for now. biggrin Hope to see you in game!

Some days we have lunch provided so we sit in the main lunch area to eat and talk. On the days we don't have lunch provided we will all go out and grab a sandwich or some tacos, etc. I tend not to eat at my desk. I'd say about 10% or less of the people here eat at their desks.



Um.. a couple. And a foosball table, a ping-pong table, an arcade machine...



I don't know what is going on with those, but I do know that on some instances your rewards are seriously nerfed if you do that. wink



I loooooove learning, and I'm constantly doing that here. I could do without some of the older, sloppy code. wink



/me looks into the soda can on his desk in attempt to read the future.. *fails*

I don't know. confused I know stuff about events, etc, but I won't reveal our plans.
/me cackles "muhahaha"



It was started before I got here, I *think* it's been 2+ years, but don't hold me to that.
