The Star Wars Galaxies official site has been updated with a dev diary by Jeff Haskell, a recent addition to the Star Wars Galaxies design team.
My name is Jeff Haskell (AKA Jaskell) and I am a new addition to the Star Wars Galaxies design team. For the past 3 years I have been working on SWG as part of the SWG QA Team. I was a tester, a QA tool scripter, and now my dreams of becoming a SWG designer have become a reality.
A long time ago, in San Diego...
In 2003 I first read about SWG in Game Informer and PC Gaming. Being a huge Star Wars fan I clearly remember fantasizing about being a part of the development team but I really didn't take the dream seriously until I was laid off as a computer consultant. As fate would have it I inherited a home in San Diego, California and moved in. I had to find a job locally and had forgotten that SOE was a stone's throw away.
I was a perfect match for SOE, but SOE didn't know it. I sought to remedy this by hanging out in their parking lot with résumés until security booted me.
