Every month, the folks from Funcom provide us with a new developer profile Q&A, telling us just a little bit more about the people behind Age of Conan. This time around, it's Per Storløkkenn, a Gameplay Designer. MMORPG.com: Can you remember your first video game? How often did you play, what other games had an influence on you? Per Storløkkenn: One of the first games I remember playing repeatedly was a Space Invaders clone on the VIC-20 that I think was called Battlefield. I also remember playing the first Donkey Kong on a handheld. I never played a lot when I was young, that came later. There isn’t one game that has influenced me a lot; there are rather many games that each has influenced me a little. However, when I started gaming “for real” two of the games that I spent the most time on were QuakeWorld: TeamFortress and Ultima Online - they both represent the type of game I prefer. They both gave me (to some degree unintentionally) a lot of freedom as a player. In QW:TF the unintentional gameplay made the game; it’s a fact of life that rocket jumps, grenade jumps, and triple pipe jumps are fun! Read more here. Cheers, Jon Wood Managing Editor MMORPG.com

Hey, Thanks for the post, I thought the interview was o.k. I mean he really didnt go tooo deep into the conversation. It kinda sounded (read) like it was bland. I prefer interviews were the person being questioned is somewhat i dunno energetic? Anyway its always nice to see what the devs are thinking

IDK, I took it as an interview with a fairly modest, level headed guy that's been around the block a couple times, in an unforgiving industry. * Life is not black or white, it's shades of grey. But, at it's best/worst, it hints at 32bit color. -Me (a.k.a. RuthlessTimes) * I do not need to know how to make a better game than you. I just need to know how to cancel my subscription. -Antarious(a slight misquote but the sentiment remains)

Extremely solid interview and seemingly a great credible source. I enjoyed his honesty and straight-forwardness. ------------------------------ MMORPGs are great to look forward to after a hard day of work, but heaven is the ultimate reward for those who live Christ-like.
