So he basically had to find a team of new people, and he is pretty good at that, and happy to take some risks. He'd just come down from EA Canada, and of course he couldn't hire any of the people there to make TA. They'd given us these plastic guns and we had to go and find and “assassinate” people, and I ran into Chris during that, and he was recruiting a team for Total Annihilation. So I went down to GDC in '96, and I met Chris Taylor in the bar. They've all gone on to do really well, and I was still friends with them, but it was clear that I was going to move on. It was apparent, though, that my high-school buddies weren't looking to make a career out of it. It didn't really make any money, but it was a great lesson in making games, the business of games. Mavor: Well, back in 1996 I was up in Canada and I had just finished the first game project I ever worked on, which was Radix: Beyond The Void, and me and some friends created that title. I've tried to hide a bit – and that's why you've never head of me!Īre you actually interested in the story of how I got here? I decided to change my tack a bit, and come out of my shell, talk to the press. I realised that with this new era of funding, with Kickstarter, and even in general, it is important with the person who is making the game to be really involved with the community. I've honestly avoided the spotlight! But with Planetary, well, I am really passionate about making these kinds of games. If you look at the Monday Night Combat stuff we did when we founded Uber, you really won't see my name come up that much.
I've honestly avoided being in the public eye. Jon Mavor: I've been involved with these games as “the guy behind the guy for a long time”, and mostly that's because I've been on the engineering side. I know a few people have been a bit “hey, that's not Chris Taylor” when they've realised the heritage of this project, but you have been heavily implicated in all these games over the years – what's the story? RPS: So I'm really interested in how you came to lead this project. The man making that happen is Jon Mavor, and I thought it well overdue for us to catch up with what he was up to, and why he is making one of the most exciting games of 2013. A stellar pitch, a cap doff to Total Annihilation, and the tech lead from Supreme Commander pouring all of his ambitions into it: few games can boast anything like this, and consequently this game threatens seismic effects in the RTS genre. This means no new records will be added for these demons.Planetary Annihilation was undoubtedly one of the strongest Kickstarter projects to have appeared since Double Fine set off the goldrush. This list is in no order whatsoever and will not be maintained any longer at all. These are demons that used to be on the list, but got pushed off as new demons were added. Only 100% records are accepted for these demons! Note that non-100% that were submitted/approved before a demon fell off the main list will be retained
These are demons that dont qualify for the main section of the list, but are still of high relevance. Records are accepted above a given threshold and award a large amount of points! These demons are the hardest rated levels in the game.
