Who at Volition (studio producer for Saints Row) gets hardcore punked the most?
– We like to hassle Chris Stockman, who is the lead designer for Saints Row. There are some funny easter eggs in the game that poke fun of him. As an example, he has a real-life ghetto tattoo on his shoulder that says “$tock$”, so we made this tattoo one you can purchase in the game. How do you 3-d model a pimp hat? And how big is too big? Is there even such a thing? – Of course this is only something that can truly be answered by a pimp, which is why we had pimps visit Volition to give us pointers on how pimps should dress. Chris Stockman was pimp-slapped by one of these guys when he laughed at him… it really is a one-hit kill. What advice would you give to everyone who’s interested in becoming a game developer? Is there some kind of blackmail / extortion/ school / courses you would recommend? – There are usually three ways to break in as an entry level developer: programmer, artist or tester. For programming, make sure you take math/science in high school then go to college for com
