- [Alganon](https://requnix.com/development/alganon/): In December of 2005 I presented the idea of starting a new company and building a MMOG to Greg Wexler, the owner of the company I had previous worked with. While he had no experience in the game industry, he was excited to do something new and in January 2006 Quest Online was born and work on Crusade began. As a MMORPG world designed around the concept of Deities, I spent months creating and fleshing out the lore, world, races, details, and overall scale of the game. We started with only a handful of people, deciding to build our own tools […]
- [Dominion](https://requnix.com/development/dominion/): After Horizons and Artifact were behind me, I wanted to do something different. I wanted to create a Hybrid online game where players could explore generated worlds that held up to 256 players, and when they logged in they could either join random “shards” or specific shards their friends were on. The goal was to create a multiplayer environment of “fun” that wasn’t as in-depth as a persistent MMOG, and could easily be “jumped into”. In addition I wanted to bring PC and Xbox players together. In October of 2001, I moved to Lafayette, CO and created Pharaoh Productions. There, I designed […]
- [Horizons](https://requnix.com/development/horizons/): With the release of Ultima Online in 1997 and while I was wrapping up the development of DEMISE, I began designing the next game I wanted to create. A major commercial title that would push the envelope and set a precedence for products to come. I created it as a codename which became known as the title itself: HORIZONS. Working on a design specification throughout 1998, wanting to make a true MMOG where thousands of people could play together in a virtual world, my thoughts on achieving this goal were reaffirmed when I saw the beta of Everquest at E3 in 1998. […]
- [Demise](https://requnix.com/development/demise/): While Mordor was a fun hobby project, Demise was the first project I undertook with some seriousness. Wanting to take the dungeon crawl gameplay behind Mordor and evolve it into a style that would be more enticing to gamers, I began working on Demise in 1997. Where Mordor cost well under $20,000 to build, Demise was closer to $200,000. I hired a C++ programmer to create the dungeon engine, artists, and people to do the data entry. I believe our team was seven people at its height. I approached Interplay about the game, and they were interested, but wanted to […]
- [Mordor](https://requnix.com/development/mordor/): Started as a hobby project, Mordor was released in 1995 as a fun “first game” that I wrote in my spare time. Little did I know it would pave the road all the way to Alganon. Written in Visual Basic 4 with the art contracted out to a single person, the game was more of a homage to the “style” of dungeon crawl I grew up with.
