Welcome to the Team!

Give a Virtual Hug to Keep our New Teammates Warm

Published on October 26, 2009 By ScottTykoski In Elemental Dev Journals

Hey Everyone!

While we've been busy on all sorts of things (Betas, mostly), the seats in the office that once collected dust are starting to fill! We've added 3 new people to the team over the last 2 weeks...

Kay Fedewa

Kay is a local Michigan-bred Artist who's spent the last 2 years on the fantastic comic series The Blackblood Alliance. She enjoys playing Demigod as Sedna, and will be taking several of the art related tasks off my plate so I can focus on...ugh...code. *sigh*

Jakob Medlin

Jakob came all the way from toasty warm Arizona to join our...less than warm posse (I can post those picts 'cause he already signed a 1-year apartment contact). Jakob joins us under the new 'Assistant Producer' role, where he'll be working with Brad, myself, and you guys to polish the game data 'till it shines.

Anthony Salter

This is the only Anthony Salter picture I could find on google images. This isn't the Anthony Salter we've hired, but I really like this kids enthusiasm.

Our Anthony shares a similar enthusiasm (for coding, not basketball) and comes to us from Texas. He just started today, and I'm working on a list of parks where his family can see Michigans beautiful fall colors...before it all turns into this.

Welcome to the team, guys! Can't wait to take you all sledding in a few months!

No cute or cuddly creatures in Elemental please . Thank you.

I dunno, the few pages I checked out were mostly blood, gore and fangs! I think she'll do well.

Common Midwest Winters aren't all that bad. They can actually be kinda fun. Where else besides Michigan that you have a chance to go Snowmobiling during Spring Break?

I don't want to put in any requests till we're actually ready to mod the game. I'm sure I'll be needing some fox den resources and other stuff

Is this a yōkai mod? I want a yōkai mod.

No it is going to be a "Fae" mod and I intend to include Kitsune.

But a Yokai mod is a VERY good idea and I'll probably line something like that for my second mod.

I think Brad took his Twilight Bee's idea a little too far...

We both share an interest in critters like reptiles and amphibians, which is awesome, and I even love brad's bees. And his honey is very good! Often honey can have a slightly bitter finish - his is very mild.

Tho he did come inside yesterday afternoon after being attacked by his aggressive hive and I had to pick 6 stingers out of his jeans with needlenose pliers. Only one of them got through and actually stung him but apparently it left quite a welt Poor brad. He's so brave though!

Wait a minute, so Brad is a Multinational CEO, a Leading force in game development, a genius coder, a gamer....and a Bee Keeper?

That's a combination I didn't see coming.

The Evil Overlord Society kept pestering him about the requirement to have a strange hobby and/or pet. He gave in.

Either that or he's breeding them to be his secret army of killer attack bees that respond to his mental commands. Plus 1 to Brad's Evil Genius score.
