What Else Did They Do?

- A LOT! See the page below.
- According to this Stratics thread, One of my earlier Game gigs in 2000, was working on a (sadly cancelled Pre-Movie) Pirates of the Carribbian game - Modeling this fully interactive 3d Black Pearl Ghost Ship and designing all the other ships in the game. Sloops, Galleons, Man-o-War type ships.

Notable Quotes:
Like most Dev’s I’m here for the passion of the labor itself. I signed up for this duty on UO - and enjoy it, and the various team members who i’ve worked together with on and off since around 2000.

For me - UO was “We’re getting the band back together Man! Are you in?” Familiar faces - people I trust - Folks who make each other laugh. Each day is exceedingly tasking work - but very satisfying.

I’ve been on enough ups and downs aa a Dev and, well. Nothing anyones done so far has ever changed my obsessions, passion, and my commitment to duty. Not to mention UO is basically the same kind of art work i’ve done all my life since i was perhaps four years old. Wish i still had some of those Frazetta copies i’d done in crayon as a tyke.

The 10th year of UO will mark my own 10th year going Game Dev work. Its going to be quite a nice way to send it off with the new UO Client.
