I was wondering if there was anyone in the forums who programmed games or apps for a professional company that I could email a few questions to. I am doing a project in my principle of engineering class and I chose computer programming, but I need to interview someone for my project. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I doubt Raven does. The few times I've looked into projects he said he was involved in, he wasn't in the credits and/or the team flat-out denied he was involved.

I think Rich has been involved in professional game development before, but I doubt he'd give a private interview to an anonymous project.

Why not just post the questions here so anyone who wants to answer will?

A very nice %it, indeed.

Why would you think that? I don't know about Rich but Rick was quite happy to allow me to interview him for a school assignment.

I program apps professionally but I'd rather not give out my email. Post yours and I'll contact you if you like.

@Exeat-- Not 'cuz he wouldn't want too, but because he's a rather busy guy. Who knows, he might have time... I've never asked him for an interview .

@Arrow-- Yes.

talking about names - my name is not really klariza
sorry to disappoint u all ppl

getting back to the real subject on hand - sorry i cannot help with any interviews as i er dont work for anyone as i am only a beginner myself in the world of graphics and programming. (plus i am doing this as a hobbie amazingly)
i really wanna be a psychartrist - i'm at uni studying psychology
but i am still really interested in graphics and programming in a big way.

I am obsessed by Toasters - especially talking ones...bizaare really isn't it?

Im at college studying graphics, IT and business. Even though in IT were doing Excel and next year Access at A Level. Im not sure what I wanna be. My parents thinkId make a great graphic designer. Id love to be a games designer, but where I live (Bolton) theres only Infogrames in Manchester(formerly Ocean) and Psygnosis in Liverpool. Ah well.

And which Uni do you go to klariza?

If you're on the DB forums, you probably don't work for a professional games development company
