Howdy!

Hello gentle citizens,

My name's Adam Hunter and I'm a programmer working mostly on the Client side - fixing crash bugs, dealing with UI issues, sometimes graphics and animation - you name it. I'm usually on the Live team (meaning the ground game), but lately we've all been working hard making JTL as fun as possible. I've worked on a bunch of miscellaneous UI features and such like the Quest Manager, the Waypoint Monitor, various options and such ("please let me turn screen shake off or I will find out where you live and shake your monitor every 10 seconds until you do" ) (just kidding :]). I also wrote a few quests for the Force Sensitive Village. Lately I've been twiddling with the camera in JTL and making some UI fixes there as well.

I've been at SOE about 6 months; before that I worked on the ill-fated Ultima X: Odyssey for a while. I'm super excited about JTL and hope you guys are too.

I like long walks in the park and the old West End Games pencil-and-paper game "Star Warriors: Starfighter Combat in the Star Wars Universe".

Let me know if you have any questions I can answer!

Thanks,
Flazm Kazaam

Hello gentle peeps My name is Janessa Johansson and I'm a game designer for JTL. Surprise I'm the worldbuilder for JTL, making zones niftyand making missions really hard with all myNPC spawners Right now, I'm testing out the missions and making sure they're good for launch! In the future, I'm going to be working on side quests and all sorts of space-y goodness! I don't post much, 'cause I mostly read posts and then fix things that have to do with worldbuilding (missions, etc). But I'm always around. Send me a message whenever. Rock on, beta peeps!

Thank you for making sure that when I do a mission on my tier, I am definitely Doing It Right. How 'bout those missile ships?

LOVE the art put intot the zones very nice!! Nebulas are a bit much for my FX5200 256mb card though had to turn them all the way down.

Missions?? missions are good but a little over powered missiles are unstoppable and alot of the community feels that a player should not be forced into grouping or into the PvP zones.

Personally I do not care to be FORCED to group but i do group to enjoy the game.
