Dev Bio
In each Spacetime Rundown we will introduce you to a member of the STS team and let you get to know the person behind the red name! This week, meet Read, otherwise known as null_void in the forums. We asked him a few questions to get to know him better!
Q: Tell us a little about yourself. Who are you? Where are you from? What do you like to do when you’re not working at STS? Any fun facts we should know about you?
A: My name is Read (like a book), and I’m a programmer here at Spacetime Studios. I grew up in New Hampshire before moving here to Texas for this job. When I’m not working here, I do quite a few different things, including working on my own programming projects, role playing, and trying to build a telescope.
Q: How did you get into programming / the games industry?
A: Like a lot of people in the industry, I love to play video games in my free time. My first job out of college was working for a bank comparing tax forms, which is something I knew I didn’t want to do for very long. I tried for a while to get into the industry, but found that it was really tough if you didn’t already work there. Eventually I had to put together a demo in my free time, and at that point, I got a company to take a look at my resume.
Q: What is your favorite part about working for STS?
A: My favorite part about working at Spacetime is getting to put write the code for a neat feature and then see people talking about it on the forums. Of course, not everyone likes all the features (which is sometimes difficult feedback to take), but overall it makes me feel pretty good.
Q: What is the first video game you every played?
A: My first video game? Hm. It was a game called “Quest for Quintana Roo” on the Commodore 64. In the game, you played a guy who was exploring a ruined temple, and you had to fight off snakes and mummies while trying to collect treasure. I was very young, and I remember being scared every time a mummy popped out of the wall at me! I had nightmares about that game.
Q: If you could be a character in any game (it doesn’t have to be a Spacetime Game), what would it be?
A: This is a tough one, but I’d say probably Naija from the video game Aquaria. Being able to explore the oceans and breathe underwater would be awesome.
Q: If you could choose a power or weapon from any game arsenal, which would it be and why?
A: I’d take the Celestial Brush from the video game Okami. I guess that’s cheating a little bit since it’s a combination of powers, but hey, who wouldn’t want to be able to paint reality into existence?
Q: Do you have any advice that you would give to any players out there who are also interested in being a game programmer?
A: My advice would be to spend time outside of school learning how to program. School will teach you a lot of things you need to know about programming (especially in college), but to really understand the challenges you’ll face when writing software, you have to tackle a project of some sort. Make it something that interests you, and you’ll get a neat game you can call your own, as well as show potential employers. When interviewing people, I want to see that they’ve taken an interest in learning new things and that they can figure out how to solve problems they’ve never seen before.
