Just wanted to make an intro thread for myself here on the forums. So hey, I'm Kris, I work for Digital Scryers as the Assistant Creative Director / Level Designer / A bit of everything. I'll do my best to help Ed with updates on here as well as doing updates myself about what's going on with Cyrene. So if anybody has any questions for me, post em up!
Hiya Kris nice to see you here. Just one small question for now. Do you get to play on planet cyrene test environment?
Hey Kris :) Welcome to EP - good to see you here ... and ohh you got a banner ^-^ Just one question ... what a cute avatar picture ... though that's not a question, that's a fact :D We are looking forward to be seeing more from Cyrene in future - and if I come up with some 'real' questions later (am at work), I will post them!
Hi Kris ... and welcome to EP ... it's awesome having part of a development team here to interact with the community. This is the kind of connection the community thrives on, and desperately wants to establish, but then ... Ed has led the way in this respect for quite some time now, and his interaction and information sharing with this community has been quite incredible, so ... we're also looking forward to getting to know you as well, and ... maybe even other members of the team as well over time. :)
Wow! Feeling very welcomed here! Let's see what I can do: Mr. Skywalker : Yes, I create it, edit it, play it, DESTROY IT!!!! MMMWWWHHAHAHA! in short, yes. With the help of the sandbox team as well =) Ms Lykke : Thank you, it's basically my call sign from Ed, being as how I am very pale. (also big thanks for the banner) Mr. Jones : Are you asking for RL pics of me? (J/K) I'll have to clear everything through the proper channels but the recent project I've been working on I'd really like to share. Mr. Geek : <3 Monty Python and pretty much British humor in general. I will have some interesting stuff to talk about in the future, and of course to answer more questions (questions about what I do here and about me and my roll on the team) and try to keep it entertaining in my posts!
Nice use of red and a hearty Evil Overlord laugh you have there, Kris! I'm gonna keep an eye on you...
Hi and Welcome ! Q. launch date ?? 1-3 months .. 6 months .. Year .. ?? Cyrene looks really cool .. nice work !
Guess we were hoping that the "bit of everything" in the initial post was a bit more all encompassing. LOL OK, so asking about the creative aspect: What did you guys look at for infuence during the creative process for building your planet and the races therein? Were there tie-ins to any Terran mythos?
Mr. AlphaGeek : A lot of my influences came from off beat comics, old anime, and text based MUDs that I love from when i was younger. Another member of Digital Scyrers James Ferguson, resident staff writer, I know has probably digested just about every Science Fiction novel/story/show/etc that the world as to offer, so I"m pretty sure there are a few nods but nothing I recognize from anything. Ed Robles, our Creative Director, comes up with the majority of what Cyrene consists of, is heavily influenced by philosophy and ancient history. Although I'm not sure if those are his influences or if he just has severe dementia .
