Ask Lopdo

[Lopdo]

Hey guys, I need a little break from work so I decided to let you guys ask anything about me. They should not be VW specific and I reserve right to skip any question that is either too personal or I don't like in some other way.

So, I suppose first question should be, do I really think I am interesting enough for people to know something about me?
Well, I am not really sure, let's find out

[mattie]

when did first set out to make vw

[Sundancer]

Can I have 10 warcoins?

[Lopdo]

when did first set out to make vw

hmm, I guess the very first idea to make game like VW was way back when I studied on university and we had to create some (I think) Java program. I chose to create simple clone of dicewars as I played it a lot back them. I liked the experience and decided to make full game later. then nothing happened for long time, until I got introduced to player.io. I wanted to try out their service and when it came to decide what game I should make first, choice was clear. I can't give you exact date or even a year as I really don't remember I wouldn't even know when VW came out without looking that info up

[Lopdo]

Can I have 10 warcoins?

sure, that would be 50 cents

[Autumnwolf17]

Do you have any siblings?

I do believe it was Summer of 2011.
*Looks up info.*
May of 2011... So, spring.

Now for my question.
Lopdo, do you ever plan on stopping work on VW? And if so, do you plan on playing more when you are done?

[Fangfallen]

Lopdo, how long have you been into game designing? What was your first game.

[mattie]

it was dicewars

[Lopdo]

Do you have any siblings?

Yes, two brothers.

Lopdo, do you ever plan on stopping work on VW? And if so, do you plan on playing more when you are done?

Yes, the will come when I will not work on VW anymore and I will not even plan to do so. Every online game dies in time and when that time comes, I will move on. And I think that answers second question as well I will not play online game that nobody else plays

Lopdo, how long have you been into game designing? What was your first game.

First game I made was ugly and stupid space shooter, back in Amiga days, I was 8 or 10 or something like that. I started (profesional) game design when I was on university. I was one of designers of Elveon (you probably never heard of it as it wasn't finished) and I started more serious game dev in my spare time about that time as well.

Game designing and game programming (they are different, not sure which one you really wanted to know) were closely tied for me and when you work alone, you can't make one without the other
