Thread: Welcome Adamse!

  1. #1

    Funcom employee Welcome Adamse!

    Hey guys,

    I'd like to welcome Adamse, who is joining the Anarchy Online team as a Senior Artist. He's fresh off of TSW, and has also worked extensively on Age of Conan. Previous to Funcom, he's been at Frictional Games as a Lead Artist on the Penumbra series. He also increases our "Swede Count" +1.

    His primary responsibility long term will be upgrading assets for the new engine, but he brings a wealth of experience in other areas as well & is a great addition to the team. I'm sure he has hobbies and stuff, but he can tell you about those.

    Try not to troll him too badly.

    Hi people.
    My name is Anton and Ill be your new environment, 3d artist.
    As Dave already mentioned, im swedish , or "partysvenske" as its called in norweigan

    Im looking forward to take this game into the next century and give this good ol pearl the look it deserves.
    I do have hobbies, like slacking, playing games and once in a while do some excercise (happens every 6th month), and off course everything that has to do with cg, traditional art and horror games (The world needs a better class of horror).
    Im happy to be here and I hope Ill be a good piece to this already great team.

    Hi Adamse

    I imagine the greatest challenge you will be facing, is the removal of the psudo fantasy-pony-riding-hobbits in the wonderful non sci-fi expansion (shadow lands aka the time the entire dev team was hooked on crystalmeth mixed with mescaline) to this great cyberpunk MMO. Please kill the fairies!

    Welcome.

    I loved the art in the Penumbra games. Very nice atmosphere. Would be interesting to have a "haunted" looking area of RK in the same vein. Something like this with Zix instead of spiders maybe: http://www.penumbragame.com/media/ovescreen1.jpg

    Leave anything you did in AoC in AoC. Or shove it in SL with the rest of the crap.

    Art wise, I love TSW. Except the animations, leave those there to die a horrible death.

    Again, welcome to AO!
