Chad Nicholas Interview

By |January 28th, 2020|

My name is Chad and I’m a designer, which means I really like to sit around and talk about a subject way past the point where normal people find it interesting or entertaining, I make problems for others to solve (for players and for coworkers), and I have an affinity for presenting problems and solutions in three parts.
Why did you choose to work in game development?
I probably heard someone say, “Do what you love” and it was this or design and build drones for the military, since I use to love putting bottle rockets on R/C planes [...]

Banner Saga release anniversary

By |January 14th, 2020|

John: 6 years ago, Banner Saga was released on Steam. It launched on the tail end of more than 2 years of the hardest work we had ever done.

Arnie: Of the two tough years the second and final year was the toughest. It was basically a ‘crunch mode’ for an entire year. I went through long stretches of waking up at 5:00am, working a few hours, then going in to work with the other guys until 12:00pm. Weekends meant I could get more done because I didn’t have to commute in and back from the office and I worked [...]

David Wright Interview

By |November 19th, 2019|

Here is a fun quick interview with David Wright, Principal Technical Artist at Stoic.
 
Why did you choose to work in game development?
I have always had an affinity for both technical and artistic “things”. I would take opportunities to learn to draw and paint from a very early age. I was also exposed early to personal computers and spent many hours playing and programming my own games and messing around with pixel art programs. So it was kind of a natural progression that I found myself wanting to work in the movie industry doing 3d visual effects. [...]
