Yah, the folks can be talkative. You just have to leave enough bread crumbs to draw them away from their work!
You need a new in game Photo feature of the Cryptic Sentai... [hero team] GM and Champions Style Pantheon of DEV TM.. What if you made that a RMC reward.. for PC Toons MEet the DEV's in a MC Gazette?
Stern fans and hockey fans. lol. Awesome! I've been listening to Stern for a while I guess....off and on. It always stays on 100 for me....just not into the other personalities he has on there. Missing Artie. Hope he comes back soon.
Have some hockey vids i guess i could post up if you guys were interested....
I actually don't like Artie all that much. I don't really find him really funny. Though we did see him at the Gotham Comedy Club when they had a benefit for the girl that I think high pitched eric was dating. He was somewhat funny. I think it's the whole he is in denial about having issues and the way Howard talks about it.
For each pie I receive, I am willing to rat out one other dev.*
*note* provided dev info may be entirely fraudulent, by providing pie, you acknowledge that you don't care if the information is valid, truthful, or contains nothing but the word "puppy."
PFFFT!!!! You call directing me to Wikipedia pages ABOUT pie, PIE!?
Let me restate. For each REAL, Tasty, NON-poisonous, NON-Toxic, Pie, Containing No animals, byproducts, toxic waste, radioactive spiders, or cthulus, I will reward you with the a short biography* of one of the other devs. *NOTE* - As stated above, by providing the above mentioned, REAL, tasty, non-toxic pie, you acknowledge that any and all info obtained by you, from Tumerboy, may in fact be made up, and have literally nothing to do with the real dev in question, or may be about a dev who is entirely fictional to begin with.

And since this thread was started by me and I'm the primary gatherer of info on this thread, I'll implement my mad ninja skills and point out the black (<-- highlight to see) text in both of T-boys's posts, in order to avoid having to add "puppy" to a Dev's post or creating one who does not actually exist...
Atomic Gorilla? haha that name rocks. Nice team! Just came back, what happend to Deake?
Daeke's gone. He moved back tot he east coast to even if his twitter leads me to know anything. Why he left will never be known but there are dozens of conspiracy theorists out there who, I am sure, will give you their opinion quickly.
Added the following yellow tags and some unconfirmed info on them:
Restricter
StokeMan
Added Averytingwong and some confirmed info on him.
Performed some minor format adjusting, and various smaller edits.
Have to give props to the Environment Artists as they have been by far the most forthcoming department as far as personal info and what they do in game goes. ^_^ (Environment Artists - 7 Opposition - 3)

Meh, we're just the most egotistical. . .
Alright, I'll rat out some of my Env Artist companions.
Rbrneck did most of the exterior Trey Kings areas. He also built the exterior of the Bayou Queen
Avery did most of the dock work, starting area, Windsong Mall, etc. And the Vamp Bar. Most of the Vamp stuff, the Crypts, and Therakiel's Lair.
An as yet, unposted (?) Artist, did much of the New Shadows neighborhood, and the Dog Pound Bar.
Another artist who probably hasn't posted since he's moved off to another project a while ago, did all of the buildings around Vib, including the High Apostolic Church.

Thanks Tumer! ^_^
I'll update it soon.
A couple other things you could help me out with.
1) Could you give a basic list of the various departments at Cryptic? So I can start grouping the names on this list under their respective departments.
2) Could you look through the info on my unconfirmed list and let me know if the information is correct or not? I know some of it you might not have any idea, but anything you could confirm would be awesome. ^_^ (One pill makes you larger. And one pill makes you small.)
1) Updated poz with his new position. Congrats again poz! ^_^
2) Moved Chronomancer to the archive section with Daeke.
Now if we could confirm a couple things with poz that would be great.
Bill was Design Director and Executive Producer of CO, but it appears that he's no longer going to be directly involved with CO, so is poz also going to be the Design Director as well as the Executive Producer, or is someone else going to fill that role, or is it maybe going to be voided out. Is poz retaining his lead programmer position? (Inquiring minds want to know!)
There is no Design Director role on Champs, though I have a lot of say in that stuff as EP. I'm still keeping a close eye on programming ;-) but I have a key programmer helping me out.

His new office, just by coincidence, is right next to the Ministry of Silly Walks.
I was afraid for a moment it was near the Fish Slapping.. MACkerel Locker. I can no rest easy knowing my Henchmen will not be nerfed..
Now Mr Poz maybe we can have a Latte and talk about a Tailor and galleria shoppe..That Qulaar Mother ships just laying around i n the harbour after all..
The Palace of Star Foxy in Auburn hills has a nice ring to it..??
1) Added Meet The Team article on Poz.
2) Added the new Podcast interview with Jackalope.
3) Added a couple newish names to the list. We're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I. A full commitment's what I'm thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy. I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you understand.
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Let me get this thread back on it's respective rails. :P
I'm an environment artist, I've been around since 2004 and worked on CoV and updates for CoH. I did a large chunk of the Arachnos environments, all the sky scrapers in CoV, the updated Rikti ships and assault suits and various other things in CoV like base assets and whatnot. In Champions, I had my hand in doing something for every zone, be it terrain work, models and textures, putting together instances like the Mandragalore, Therakiels Temple and many others along with detailing work in Vibora bay and areas such as West Side. I also created Crisis areas such as Canada and Monster Island.
My typical day usually involves staring at the brightly glowing screens for hours on end and moving my hands a lot around between the keyboard mouse and wacom tablet. I usually keep a bottle of eye drops hand nearby to eliminate the need for blinking. Sometimes I set aside time to scratch where needed.
Thanks Avery! I really appreciate it when Devs come in and volunteer the info I've asked for:
Official title.
Department, as well as their focus in that department (Exactly what the Dev does in game, details).
What their typical day is like.
It shows that they really care about getting in touch with the player base and bridging that gap so they are no longer faceless monoliths behind yellow tags.
And those who willingly provide their info don't have to face my stalk... I mean uh...
My mad ninja information gathering skillz.
I haven't had much time this month due to an unusually high work load, which I suppose made up some ground for my unusually low work load from Dec-Feb.
Once I get some extra time I'll be targeting... uh I mean focusing on specific Devs and gathering all the info I can until I have a sufficient profile for them, starting with those that I only have a bit of info on, then moving to those that I have none on.
Really my threads are rather un-derailable (as much as T-Boy tries) though as I'll continue to post and update them whether other people pay attention or stay on topic or not. ^_^
One last question though, is your middle name actually Ting, and if so did your parents understand the wordplay when they named you that? oO (Your Kung-Fu is unorthodox!)
I've added some of the new information, and fleshed out many of the profiles.
I've grouped the profiles under their departments. If I have any of them wrong or need to add new groups, just let me know.
I've added links to the new articles with Chrono, Jack, and Poz from Massive, and I think I've fixed up their new titles.
Is Poz still Director of Game Programming or still actively involved with Programming outside of his new role? (Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from cotton-eye Joe?)
I'm the key programmer that Poz mentioned. I work with Patchwork and Poz in making sure bugs and issues get handed to the correct dev to be fixed. That and I try to get in new features and fix bugs.
Gender: Male
Expereience: In the computer game industry since 1982. This alone should be be enough information to figure out who I am

Now if we could just get some more Devs to add some additional info about themselves.

Sorry Tums.
(I'm a NINJA!!!)
Haha, I didn't really send it. Hopefully he will give us the info before he realizes it isn't coming. Hidden text is fun.
Best not to discuss it since it will lead to this thread getting locked.
Daeke's gone. He moved back tot he east coast to even if his twitter leads me to know anything. Why he left will never be known but there are dozens of conspiracy theorists out there who, I am sure, will give you their opinion quickly.
LOL. As I stated before, since I'm the one that started the thread it would be counterproductive to not point it out.
I did give you a bit of time before I pointed it out though.
And yeah that's like calling a PI a stool pigeon, that's kinda the point.
(Now face my Shaq-Fu!)
Have to give props to the Environment Artists as they have been by far the most forthcoming department as far as personal info and what they do in game goes. ^_^
