A yes, sorry about that, I completely forgot to actually tell about the game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Well, it's hard to put a label on it actually. For a start - it's not a hardcore RPG so don't expect that. Its more like a story-based action game where the RPG aspects are that you gain xp by killing the monsters and solving the quests, which you then spend customizing your character. The world is kinda sci-fi (ala. Deus Ex) but the story takes place underground in a tunnel world (a bit like Ultima Underworld I guess) where you have to collect and trade all kind of junk to survive. So it's a kind of low-tech sci-fi if you get what I mean <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> You'll see lots of computer terminals, but many will be old, broken and out of order. If you decide to go that way you can learn to build all kinds of stuff from the junk (ie. combine a rusty pipe and a metal heading and you got a metal club). The tunnel world is split into three colonies - miners, biologists and prisoners (feels a bit like Gothic with the different camps) and you'll visit all colonies through the game. Finally there is a hacking/cyberspace part to the game when you want to take control over security systems and turrents in the tunnels. Again, it's important to stress that the game isn't nearly as good and polished as the other games I mentioned above - but then again, those are also among my all-time favorites!
About myself - unfortunately I'm not lucky enough to work on an RPG, but I still consider myself lucky to be able to work with games for a living. Each day I get up I look forward to going to work! Before I got my current job I worked on the "Ultima 1 - A legend is reborn" project (later to be known as ERA) and now I work at a company called Deadline Games where we work on action titles. We just recently released our latest game "Total Overdose" for the PS2, Xbox and PC. Maybe someday I'll be able to work on a RPG title again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
