Totem Arts Staff [NE]Fobby[GEN] Posted August 12, 2009 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted August 12, 2009 On commandandconquer.com, EALA's "2POC" conducted an interview with Renegade X Founder, [NE]Fobby[GEN]. The interview contains a wealth of information concerning Renegade X and the team behind it. QUOTE 2POC: What has been the most fun part of creating this mod?Fobby: That's probably the toughest question I've had to answer. Picking favorites is always hard. But, I would have to say that the most entertaining part of the mod's development would have to be spending time with the team. After more than two years of development, we've grown into sort of family. We communicate through the forums, MSN, and Teamspeak on a daily basis, and I have a blast when working with the team, as we are constantly making jokes and having a good time, whether we are testing the mod, playing a good ol' Command & Conquer game, or simply relaxing and exchanging words and ideas. I wouldn't exchange this mod team for anything. Well, maybe a few billion bucks. But that's it, I promise.

Xaivor44 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hopefully this interview will create even more interest in the Renegade X mod. After all, the more the merrier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Nicely put, Fobby. Mentioning NE in an interview to be posted on the website of an international game developer? That's how it all begins. Won't be long before we take over the world I think the paragraph you highlighted above reveals one of the primary reasons for why Renegade X has done so well- the strong community which has developed. It's been that way since the beginning. I always knew that this project would be successful as long as the team continued to get along so well. So many great ideas like Renegade X fall apart over some petty argument before any real progress is made. Great work guys, you deserve it.

Demigan Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Looking at all your video's and all the pictures you would say that the mod is just about finished. But I would love to see some pictures or even video's of all the bugs you are dealing with right now, could be fun to watch someone abuse it or go totally wacko because of a bug. I think that the fact that you guys are making additional features and even changing existing ones is a good thing. If people know that you are changing it from the start, there will be less people who start complaining 'this isn't like the original', cos it says on the package 'better then the original' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[CNC]PlagueNXC Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Great job fobby. I read the interview as well, and enjoyed it. This is kinda funny though, you would have thought that they would interview you alot earlier than now. But I guess it makes sense since the first beta release will be out this year. Word gets around pretty quick on the status of your and your team's mod. Everyone loves it of course. Hats off to Havoc and Jeep as well. Love the new look of the site. The updates are great, and the way it looked before really sets the mood for the upcoming battle for the mod... Website made me think this after you changed it the third time: 1st website Nod and GDI were at peace. 2nd website Nod's base was destroyed by GDI. 3rd Website Nod prepares to battle GDI and rebuild their own base. I'm waiting for the fourth update on the website that actually says something like: "Who do you choose? GDI? Or Nod?" Well, whoever has been making the website updates have had put some good thought into it with the team, and I love what you guys have been doing with it. Take it easy.

havoc9826 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Excellent interview. More good publicity and exposure = bigger future playerbase.

Click the "LOGIN" text in the top right (it doesn't look like you can actually log in there, but that's unimportant), and then look up higher and you'll see three squares (red/Nod, blue/neutral, yellow/GDI). When you click on them, they change the color of the arrows next to the update headlines and the TOTEMARTS.NET text in the bottom right corner of the main page, as well as the headlines on the other pages. I wonder if Fobby's changed his to red yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I knew about it until a couple years after C&C 95 came out. I was 9 years old when C&C 95 was out and was playing it like a pr0. =PI had a crappy computer then. I'm glad I am out of the nest now and have my own place. I can buy and built whatver system I want; it's great. Oh and no more curfews, or rules; well I guess my wife does have some rules, but it is different than being with your parents. It's alot better...Oh and fobby; you hit the nail on the wood when you were talking about me living in Jesus land on Team Speak. You may have been making fun of us; but I love every minute of it; and yes buddy, I believe. I take no offence either.
