General Discussion

The Star Wars Galaxies official site has been updated with a developer profile on SWG Lead Artist Alexis “Aphox” Allen.

What do you enjoy most about your job on SWG, and why? I like to watch the evolution of the game and know that I had a hand in growing it.  I also like to see all the Star Wars concept art that most people never see. Our partnership with LucasArts affords the capability of seeing the 'behind the scenes' work to a certain extent, and I think that's cool.

What types of things do you do in a typical day at work? I ride my bicycle to work most days because I really need the exercise. I eat breakfast while I go over my email. Then I might have a meeting with the other leads to discuss what art items we need in order to accomplish a certain design goal. I gather up those art requests and asses their order of importance and time consumption. I assign those art tasks to the art team, and include myself as much as possible. I work on some art tasks that vary from 3-D objects to new vehicles to icons and UI screens. I have lunch, usually at my desk. I look into and implement new tools or processes that make the artist's job easier and faster. I work on some art tasks some more. I take a break and play with a yo-yo and have a snack. I wrap up my work on my art tasks and check them in. I ride my bike home.

I can't help but wonder if people really give a monkies about these dev profiles..

I would but he said "I like to watch the evolution of the game and know that I had a hand in growing it".........

So now I don't cause the game sucks now lol.

Another one who is responceable for the present debarcle

your proud to have a hand in work that drove over 200,000 people away from the game even after protesting it and then giving cookes to the few 25k who stayed and called the 200,000+ a minority and worked effortlessly to ban/suspend any account who objectified in the SWG forums. thats it in a nutshell "be proud in knowing that while playing with your yoyo."

Im sure as lead artist she didnt have much say in the direction of core gameplay mechanics so im not going to say anything bad about her as a person.

To me she seems genuine as a nice lady, im sure she was very upset with the NGE as well but has no capabilities of stopping it or reversing the effects.

At least I hope thats how it is.

Haha, she's a LARP'r and a Boffer, lame.

I wonder if anyone at SoE would like to know a little about me?
