August 7 - Friday Feature - Introducing Tony "Teesquared" Tyson | ||
| In the summer of 2002, I finally gave in to the lure of the game industry and got a job at Origin where I worked on Ultima X Odyssey. Having grown up playing the old Ultima games, it was an amazing opportunity. When the summer of 2004 rolled around, the studio closed before we could finish the game, but it was a great learning experience and I can say I had the opportunity to create worlds. After that, I landed a job with SOE. I started as a programmer working on game engine tools. I wrote an NPC editor and a quest editor. Eventually, I moved on to Star Wars Galaxies full time. |  | |
