The official site has posted a Developer Spotlight with Adam Clegg known to many of us in the community as Arclegger.
What most excites you about working on PlanetSide 2?
This is all very surreal and I’m not sure it has all sunk in yet. If you could only see me as a child growing up playing games you would see how much I loved them. If I told my child self that he would grow up and become a video game designer I don’t think he would believe me in a million years. Everything about the PlanetSide 2 game excites me. Being able to work on a game of this caliber and quality, seeing it on the cover of magazines that I used to read as a child, hearing people I don’t know talk about it, and many other things I can’t say but you’ll soon find out. This is truly a dream come true and I feel so blessed, Even as I write this I feel extremely lucky and thankful.
Check out the full interview here.

Re: Developer Spotlight with Adam Clegg
Yeah when I heard Higby's story it sounded exactly like my situation until he drove to San Diego and got a job. I'm wondering if this is a sign... and Higby's my strategy guide. |

Re: Developer Spotlight with Adam Clegg Yeah, when I read that it reminded me of one of the 40k Gaunt's Ghosts books where a armored tank division that was working with the Ghosts was boasted about it's extremely high trained and skilled crews. Something like a pincer attack where the force would split left and right then turn back attack the enemy from both sides. These tanks wouldn't just go left and right then shoot at stuff to their sides, no. These tanks would turn around then go full speed back to the other side running over everything in the middle, the allied tanks on the other side would be doing the same thing and to prevent each other from running into one another they had high levels of coordination drilled into them so the tanks would pass by each other in the middle of the enemy forces in a move that would look some what like the teeth of a zipper on a jacket. I loved scenes like that.. |

Re: Developer Spotlight with Adam Clegg Okay: Why dont you pull a Higby and get yourself a beard? Devs with beard are clearly more dedicated to the game, as they dont waste time to shave. |
