PotBS - Developer Log @ Official Site

Flying Lab Software's newest member, Junior Designer Drew Clowery, offers some thoughts on the company's upcoming MMORPG Pirates of the Burning Sea in his first developer log at the official site.

Hi there, I’m the new guy. My name is Drew Clowery, and I’m the newest (and only) Junior Designer here at Flying Lab. I’ve been working here for just over a week now, so unfortunately there’s not a lot I can tell you guys about the game you don’t already know. Instead I’m going to talk about something that you likely know nothing about: how I got here. I’m sure that some of you will be less than interested, and I promise I’ll actually talk about the game in future DevLogs.

I started in the game industry in December of 2001 when I took a job doing customer service for Mythic Entertainment on Dark Age of Camelot. At the time I applied for the job because I really needed a job, and they were local and hiring. I was playing Dark Age, and I liked it, but I didn’t have any real thoughts of a career. I was still trying to figure out what I was going to do with my life, but I had bills to pay, and I wanted to avoid any further work in retail.
