"An Interview with Jeff Nihlean with Storm Interactive regarding his latest
project..."
JagCube: I guess to start off with, what are your current plans for Storm Works
Interactive and who do you have working with you?
Storm Works: Well.....our plans are to work on this new game we have called
'Zero'. We don't really have plans at the moment for other games right now, so
we are focusing on Zero mainly. We have two artists, one programmer (me)
and.....that's it mainly for now... until we get more people.
JagCube: Could you brief everyone on what kind of game Zero will be?
Storm Works: Well.....its going to be a 2d sidescrolling shooter or a 2d
topdown shooter. We haven't decided how we want it yet.
JagCube: So it's still in the (very early) stages to really tell.... When do
you expect to have screen shots up ? Will a demo be available anytime in the
near future? And what got you back into programming for the Atari Jaguar, the
sudden grasp of interest?
Storm Works: Well...... screenshots won't be up for a while because we are
taking things kinda slow because we wanna make sure that what we make is
solid and not something we whipped up in like 5 minutes. A small demo will
be available in the future but it may only be of the main menu and such,
we are not sure if we really want to give away gameplay just yet. What got
me back into programming for the jag........hmmmmmmmm.......well first off
after I left the first time I went to try programming for the Sega
Dreamcast and I did a few things there but it just didn't feel like the
hardware I was used to (I know that kinda sounds weird) but I felt the jag
was just my kinda hardware to work with. Also I guess it was playing a few
rounds of Ultra Vortek with some friends and some Tempest2k and Skyhammer
that kinda drew my intrest to the Jag again.
JagCube: Heh heh, the Jag can get you back that way ! Well, I am very glad you
have decided to come back and support the Jaguar in any shape or form you can.
Do you have a specific date you would like to get the game complete?
Storm Works: Well.....as of now I'm not really thinking of a timeframe, its
more or less, "when it's done"
JagCube: That works! Working out the code and bugs/misc. stuff will of course
have time drawbacks like everyone else. I do want to thank you for taking the
time and allowing us to interview you. We wish you the best of luck with your
current project and hope it is a successful ride to the end ! Are there any
comments you would like to make at this point?
Storm Works: nope thanx for the interview
JagCube: Thanks for your time, Jeff! We'll try to get back with you in about 6
months to see how progress is coming along. Take Care!
