Question for Halzy:

^^ What is your fondest memory about developing zOMG?


I really like meeting people in the game. It's nice to see people enjoying what you've had a hand in building. But I think my fondest memory was when we all went out to dinner together around when we launched. We had a great time and walked away with some good quotes. My favorite is Bronstahd's quote, "I'm a golden god and full of delicious cow."

You must sacrifice 42 CL 1 noobs to Landshark via ritualistic burnanation on the bonfire.
Translation: We'll let you know when we find out.


You're sooooo close! Keep burning those noobs!

My question is for Halzy
Have you read my goof guide yet?


I have not, and I refuse to play goof until I finish reworking pathfinding. :p

Okay i have a question for the devs

How did you get involved with zOMG/Gaia?
Did they find you, or did you find the application in the paper or a website or word of mouth?


I was originally hired on at Gaia (via a recruiter) to work on a new games platform. But a week after they had room on the zOMG team and I jumped for the empty seat!

Cheers,
Halzy

Hi, All,

Ok, so I'm 30, enjoy long moonlit strolls on the beach and playing with my kids. I play TF2 and L4D (tho not much recently). I asked my wife for help on describing myself, and she said, "I don't know, you program... and then you program some more."

Hrm.. sounds serious. I must be a programmer. It's a lot of fun working at Gaia and developing new features that I'm sure will be enjoyed. I enjoy software systems design and keeping up to date on the languages I know.

As of late I've been enamored with the Boost Library. Particularly the ASIO portion of it. While going through some of the tutorials today I found a very neat little utility in boost called bind.

Some of my other favorite pastimes include reading white-papers about pathfinding, trying to figure out how to apply the funnel algorithm efficiently to a polygon, and how to update my avatar in the bar to be a box, instead of what it's currently dressed up as.

I've been playing zOMG lately and am trying to beat the other dev's to the end boss. I think that javafun was the first one of us devs to make it to the end with bronstahd in second place. I'm trying to get parts for sheries(sp?) twin in bassken lake but they're not dropping. I may be too high a level to get the drop from the wolfs.. dunno. I'll have to keep trying.

Anyhow -- if you have any specific questions, please let me know. It's easiest to find them if you drop a link to them in my profile or pm me the link. smile

Cheers,
Halzy
