Fallen Enchantress Team

By on January 12, 2011 4:43:48 PM from Elemental Forums Elemental Forums

With the changes over the past few months I thought you folks might like to know everyone’s roles on Fallen Enchantress.  Names and roles are listed below in no particular order.  This list isn’t comprehensive, there are a lot of hard working people in the marketing, business dev, audio, IT and publishing areas that aren’t covered.  It also isn’t intended to be taken too seriously.  Many of the people also work on other tasks and aren’t as strictly assigned as this list may imply.

 

Bradley “Frogboy” Wardell (Executive Producer and Product Manager)- Brad defines the budget, approves scope and makes sure we get our paychecks.  He also writes our AI.

Derek "Kael" Paxton (Lead Producer and Lead Designer)- Design, scheduling, stopping scope creep, setting priorities, being a general butthead.

Toby “Kestral2040” Sarnelle (Associate Producer)- Toby does a lot of design work as well as managing the schedule.  His job is to do cool stuff that I take credit for.

Jon Shafer (Designer and Programmer)- Jon is focusing on modability and the campaign.  Jon’s job is to take the blame for the things I do wrong.

Paul Boyer (Art Director)- Paul is responsible for the look of the game.  He focuses on setting standards and making sure the world looks consistent and interesting.

Cari “CariElf” Begle (Programmer)- Cari is responsible for the world.  It is fun to come up with new ideas about what the world of Elemental should contain, Cari is the one who implements those ideas.

Jesse “Codecritter” Brindle (Programmer)- Jesse’s focus is on the engine.  When we talk about memory leaks or adding new engine functionality (as compared to game features) Jesse is usually the one who takes care of it.

Charles "CrazyC0330" Lentz (Programmer)- Charles will be implementing the magic and tactical AI amongst other things.

Sarah "Raa00" Trombley (Programmer)- Sarah is working on secret features.

Jeff Colvin (Programmer)- Jeff is implementing FPS mode for Elemental*.

Akil Dawkins (Lead Artist)- Akil does a lot of our modeling, texturing and animating and has been sharing assets with modders in the modders forum: http://forums.elementalgame.com/401142

Jue “Leo” Li (Artist)- Leo does most of the 2d paintings and concept art for Elemental.

Dan Wallace (Artist)- Dan does 3D modeling and texturing along with some animations and tile designs.

Key Fedewa (Artist)- Kay does most of the spell effects as well as icons, models, etc.

Scott “BoogieBac” Tykoski (Artist)- Scott’s working as an animator, but works in nearly every part of game design including programming, design, audio, etc.

David Stern (Writing and Lore)- Dave is working on fleshing out the details of the world.  It’s a back and forth where we design game components that Dave writes lore for, or Dave writes lore that inspires game components.

 

* This is a joke, there will be no FPS mode in Elemental.

Yeah, that is right. FPH (= frames per hour) would be more appropriate.

Sounds great. I hope the final product is something to cheer about. I`m looking forward to a finish product with Elemental first. I know that Brad and company want everyone to be happy. I appreciate the effort being make by Brad and his new coharts. So with that said, heres to Brad and his new Avenger team. I like the new lineup. If only we had these guys before Elemental had been released before its time ? But, then again, would we have had the right players ? Who knows ? Time will tell the complete story won`t it.

Small world apparently. I was already watching Kay on DA and didn't realize they were part of the Elemental team. ^^

If anyone on here wants to make fun of my bad art (Almost all of it but the photography is years old) feel free to stalk me on there. Looneymitch.deviantart.com.

But I'll be sure to DA stalk any artist from the Elemental team.

 

So how about Akil, Dan, or Scott?

January 13, 2011 3:27:52 PM from Elemental Forums Elemental Forums

Good luck, team!

January 13, 2011 3:52:47 PM from Elemental Forums Elemental Forums

Good luck everyone, make us proud  

Also, in case whoever will handle the image associated with the Shadow World spell(about which I will never shut up, ever) in the spellbook is reading, I have a suggestion.

Picture this: an outside shot of the world of Elemental in a corner and  right above it, a tare in space, with a dark planetoid barely visible. And from that tare, something like a dark smog, or viscous fluid pouring out, with scary faces in it, blanketing the world. Or with Elemental a the center, and the shadows coming right at the screen.

I would present a concept drawing, but I can't draw to save my life.

Really looking forward to it.

Oh, and Jon, just because you spell your name funny, doesn't mean all the other Johns won't be expecting GREAT mod improvements...right?

Well, well... Guys... Now show and bring up the potential of this game... We all know here that the potential if here... So dig it out ! The program for the expansion looks... In fact not really well... but wonderful ! I hope that you will achieve to make Elemental a incredible thing... And will meet the success it deserves. Only one thing to say... Good luck to all here !

January 14, 2011 4:19:33 PM from Elemental Forums Elemental Forums

Wow this sounds like a great idea to me!

It also, always interesting to see the names behind the product makes it more personal and reminds everyone that real living breathing people are toiling away and working on this game.

Great job so far guys! (and gals)

I think your artwork and photography is nice for what it's worth.

We'll definitely be able to improve things, but don't expect miracles overnight. It's much easier to build a moddable game when you do so from square 1. Retrofitting things later makes it more difficult.

Who makes the tea?

Also which one of you can fly a helicopter? Never make a team without a helicopter pilot.

Quoting DrAtomic1,
Do any of your artists have accounts with Deviantart or any other place where we can see some of their public work and keep track of them?

Finally got one of my own!

Dunno why it took so long...there's some damn fine art out there. Great for inspiration

  Today we had an argument about which was faster, running backward or skipping.  Toby bravely agreed to champion the cause of running backward while we all agreed that Leo (who painted all the incredible spell paintings) was our most gifted skipper.  Do these sorts of things happen at other companies?

  The results:

  It's worth noting that I won $5 on the race.  Woot!

September 6, 2011 8:38:23 PM from Elemental Forums Elemental Forums

LOL. Great to see people having fun... and I got to say I guessed the result wrong!

September 6, 2011 10:23:50 PM from Elemental Forums Elemental Forums

I too guessed wrong, thanx for vid

Apparently not early enough if your Frogboy2.... lol

Seriously how do you find the time to do all the things you do? It's insane.

September 8, 2011 5:07:32 PM from Elemental Forums Elemental Forums

Cari is responsible for the world.

Taken out of context this sounds little disturbing. That's great responsibility
