Galactic Conquest Interview

Thanks for inviting us to do the interview! As an introduction: I'm Scott Zier (SZier online), here with Gareth O'Neill (Preacher), Daniel Aston (Phantom) and Rob (MUHAHAHAHA online).

Scott> I'm a project director for Galactic Conquest, working on coordination and milestones. I do most of my daily work in coding, and the implementation of the resources our art team creates. I also do a good bit of mapping.

Gareth> I work as an artist, both 2D skins and 3D models, with some collisions mesh's, and exporting on the side. I'm the guy you go to if you need a Chair, table, or background element. I'm always up for a challenge, looking for stuff to improve my skills. I wouldn't say I was anywhere near the quality of our top modelers like Luuri, and Dirtylowmofo, but if you ever need a Chub stand then I'm your man.

Rob> My work on the team is usually focused on the menus, installers, and some scripting, but I am trying to learn skills in other areas to become more of an all-purpose kind of guy.

Daniel> I'm a mapper, I have several maps in development for the next release, and I've spent a good bit of time touching up older maps. I'm also improving my skills as a modeler.

What was the inspiration that led you to produce this modification?

Rob> Well, I started off as a big fan of the mod (as soon as I heard about it, I joined the forums, and started playing it online). Then I applied to become an alpha tester, and eventually became a developer after working to get the 0.1E version working and out the door to be compatible with BF 1.6. I'm a big Star Wars fan. Return of the Jedi was the first movie I remember seeing in the theatres when I was a kid, and I've always been a big fan of Star Wars games. I worked on some mods for Jedi Outcast, and wanted to continue working on SW mods.
