Here are a few excerpts:
| Q: How does it feel to be the youngest guy in the company to be a lead designer? A: I was the kid, the young guy, and they used to tease me all the time. In a lot of ways it was a bit weird for [my coworkers]. But they recognized that I knew what I was doing, that I was there because I knew Civilization, had ideas I wanted to use and brought passion to it. Q: How many employees work under you? A: The team has 52 people, total. I act as project director and attend a lot of meetings and meet with a lot of people on a daily basis. I do a lot of programming. Recently, I had a meeting about smoke, which didn’t look right in the game. We had to make it thinner so when you zoom out [on the map] you can see it better. Q: What’s it like to play games for a living? A: People think it’s all fun playing games all day. A lot of it is really hard work and long hours, with very little vacation. But when you do put in the effort, people will see that and recognize it. That’s been a big part how I got the job. It wasn’t just that I had experience. But the fact that I was there late every day and had interesting ideas. |
