Team Bios



Team Bios was a section of the Pirates Online Website that was removed from public viewing, probably due to the fact it is obsolete, as most of the "Team Members" or "Developers" who have their Bio on there no longer work for Pirates Online. The page can still be found, however in the Site Map of the Pirates Online Website.

The Actual Bios are more like Q&As with the Developers that actual information about themselves.

David - Programmer


If you were a pirate, what would your name be?

Angry Rodent, Terror of the High Seas. Clearly he'd be a mean pirate.

Where are you originally from?

Mountain View, CA

'''Do you play other MMOs? Which ones?'''

Yes, I'm a certifiable EVE addict at the moment.

What was your first job ever?

Christmas tree shaper. It turns out Christmas trees don't come in that nice triangle shape we get them in. You shape them all year with a machete that so when Christmas comes they'll look nice.

'''How did you get started in game development? What other games have you worked on?'''

I designed my own games with a paper and pencil since I was a little kid and when I got access to computers later in my life, continued my passion there. I worked on a ton of Unix games that no one has ever heard of now (Legend, Keep Wizard, Arena), moved onto multiplayer titles (Area, Rogue, Valhalla), and then started on PC titles later. I've contributed to the design of more games than I can shake a stick at. (Mtrek Sanctum, Full Spectrum Leader, etc.). Oddly enough, it was only 5 years ago that I took up game creation as my full-time career. Prior to that, I just did it as an obsessive second job while working in mainstream software development.

What skill would you specialize in if you were a Pirate?

I think I'd like to be a ship captain. Blasting stuff with cannons is a lot of fun, but someone needs to drive the boat too!

What's your dream car?

Ferrari Testarossa. Old-school, maybe, but always fun.
