  • "Behind The Code": D. Ray (Part 1/3)

    The first part of the second "Behind The Code" interview set, where ex-<B>Activision</B>ers talk with <B>Apolyton CS</B>` (ACS) <A HREF="mailto:locutus@apolyton.net">Locutus</A> about the <I>Call To Power</I> series and in particular the second title in light of its pending source code release, <A HREF="http://apolyton.net/misc/interviews/btc_ray-1.shtml" TARGET="_new">is now online</A>.

    Dave "Pyaray" Ray was on the <I>Call To Power II</I> development team as a programmer alongside Richard Myers and Steve Mariotti. In looking back, he discusses his half-year on the <I>Call To Power II</I> development. He relays the satisfaction he received working on the game and both the other people and the company behind it. He states that with the release of the <I>CTPII</I> source code, fans who choose to delve into it will gain some first-hand experience as to what is involved in such a project.

    The second part of the one-on-one chat with Ray will be posted on <U>August 28th</U>. Comments on the first instalment are welcomed in this thread.

      Maybe to replace Steve Mariotti. IIRC, he left that summer.

        They needed more programming talent than they had.

            Great to hear your views and experiences on aspects of the industry, its always nice to hear something from the people who worked on the CTP games
            'The very basis of the liberal idea – the belief of individual freedom is what causes the chaos' - William Kristol, son of the founder of neo-conservitivism, talking about neo-con ideology and its agenda for you.info here. prove me wrong.
