The Editor's (NOT PERSONAL) Address
The BOSS of MajorCommand
by KungFuDuet
Gosh, without HIM this place won't even exist. This guy is probably the most important being in the Universe (of MajCom). The Creator of all, the King himself, the half mortal, half undead viking warrior... it is - BADORTIES!
So this is an exclusive interview with the man that is so AWESOME, not even those seven letters are enough to describe him.
His WILD SIDE - Who he is outside of MajCom
I'm Jess Bachman. Google it. Otherwise known as Jess Bachman, Bado is a married man with three children. He is the Creative Director of Design Startup, the guy who makes cool posters, and best of all - he plays video games.
The all important idea - What inspired him to start MajCom
Me: What was it that inspired you to start MC? Bado: I was at another Risk site and couldn't get any problems fixed, I was tired of wasting my time, and so decided to start my own.
The Obstacles - The Start of the Journey
Me: Was it difficult to start off? Bado: Well... It wasn't difficult, it just took some time. I got a few people on board to help of course. I had to hire a developer, so it took some time to find the right one.
The Glory - Biggest Achievements Along the Way
Me: What was your biggest achievement within MajCom, apart from the fact that you created it? Bado: Well, it was more like hundreds of smaller achievements. Taking a full turn was a big achievement, the first actual player was an achievement. The first win, the first forum comment, and many many other milestones were achievements.
The Failure - I thought he hasn't got any
Me: Anything that you wish could have been done better in nearly two years that had passed? Bado: Well, I had put a lot of focus on community features before there was a community, when I should have focused on core game stability before any community features.
Satisfaction - Is it :) or :(
Me: How would you rate your creation's development since the Alpha out of 100% ? Bado: Well, it's hard to rate it like that. I'm quite proud of it though - it's much more than any of us imagined it would be.
Banana Peel - Funny and Slippery
Me: Any funny things that happened while developing? Bado: lol, there were probably a lot of funny things... though I can't say I remember them. I know we used to get together for weekly chats during the initial development, and somehow we always ended up talking about dicks. Me: :D haha
Last Words - Before the New Year
Me: Any Confession that you wanna make in front of MC, before the new year? Bado: I confess that we need to get maps out quicker. We have lots of maps waiting to be released.
