| DEV DIARY 10 - HAVOC |
|
|
| HI guys what’s up?
This is Alex ”HaVoC” Immerzeel, and I’m a modeler, skinner and Visual effects artist for First Strike.
And welcome to my Dev diary. First off I’ll tell you guys a little about myself and my motives for working with this incredible group of talented people on First strike.
 
I’m 18 years old and live in The Netherlands, (that’s that tiny little country next to Germany) I am currently still in school, currently doing a course in Small businesses. I’m working my way up to getting the proper credentials to get accepted into university for a degree in game design & development. currently to get through school I work at a electronics store in downtown Rotterdam. I have been doing game design related activities since I was twelve. Starting with map creation for the game, star trek Voyager Elite force. Then later moving onto jedi knight 2 and 3 which used the same quake 3 engine. Since I quit mapping I got intrigued in modeling and a friend of mine happened to have a collectors edition of Unreal tournament 2004 which included a modeling tutorial for a program called Maya. So after downloading the free version of maya I was hooked on modeling. Since then I have been doing modeling work mainly for my portfolio. I have been huge starwars fan and collector for as long as I can remember now.
 
After The battlefield 2 mod Shattered faith disbanded Back in July 2006 I submitted my application to join First Strike, Inconveniently a day after several old Shattered faith devs also got accepted into the mod. Which basicly meant I pulled the short straw. I got a friendly "Sorry but were full" from Xerohour and I went on my way again. Then last November First strike had an audition for voice actors. And since I do a mean admiral Ackbar impression I thought. “Hey what do I have to lose”. So I recorded a few lines and I waited a week or 2, and then I got the E-mail from Ulversial. I was accepted as the voice actor for the mon calamari. And then I thought hey why not re-submit my application with some updated work. So I did, and a few days later I spoke with Bandu,he gave me a little test assignment, which I passed with flying colors. And since then I’ve been working with the utmost pleasure on this great project that is First Strike. My luck had finaly changed...
One of the great things about this mod is the speed at which we test things and get stuff in-game. Every week we have 2 main testing session. But usually we have a new workable build every 2 days. Usually when we get feedback from our testing department, the dev team will have made the tweaks and changes to the Build the very next day. And it is up for grabs. This is a really great experience cause you don’t have to wait a long time to see the stuff you made in-game. Also the things I have learned while being part of this team Have been a real eye opener for me. I started out as a lonesome Modeler without any other real skill, but since I have joined I have learned Skinning, and visual effects with the help from my fellow Devs.
Well this was my dev diary, letting all you people take a look into my life as a modder for First Strike share in the experiences I have had.
Stay tuned for bigger and better stuff coming soon.
p.s. Han shot first!
Cheers,
Alex “HaVoC” Immerzeel
