Thanks Pavle!
At the end of the month, Godus programmer Pavle has decided to move on to other things. Pavle has been known around the studio for his messy desk, passionate nature and love of Jaegerbombs.
Pavle has also been involved with our Kickstarter 'Making of' Documentary which is getting the finishing touches ironed out right now. Keep an eye out for more Documentary news in the coming weeks.
We wish him all the best with all his future endeavours.
We asked Pavle to have his own say about his time at 22cans:
"22cans was my first job, ever."
"I got an internship here after one year of university at the Instituto Superior Técnico in sunny Portugal because of an off-the-cuff e-mail I sent Peter Molyneux. In that e-mail I explained that I, while I was completely unexperienced and mostly uneducated, I was passionate about making amazing games and I was willing to work for very little money."
"I never expected anyone to even read that e-mail."
"Peter had just put up the address on a couple of articles about 22cans and I expected him to be getting flooded with correspondence, but he forwarded me to Tim Rance, who got me on a couple of skype calls with himself and the team (22cans had around 6 people at this time). Based on these calls the people at 22cans flew me over to Guildford and changed my life."
Pavle, Jack & Paul during development of Curiosity
"Through the madness of Curiosity I learned how to work really hard while still having an amazing time. At the same time I learned how to live by myself. With the Kickstarter campaign I was amazed by the support of people from around the world, and then with Godus I learned, and I'm still learning, how much a product needs to evolve to become great, and how much work that takes."
"Leaving has been a very hard decision but I'm comforted by the fact that I'll remain in touch with all the friends I've made here and Godus is left in the incredibly capable hands of Richard, Ryan and the rest of 22cans."
"My three years at 22cans were the most formative, interesting, amazing years of my life. I leave owing a tremendous debt of gratitude to everyone at 22cans that has taught me something or just helped me survive these secretly amazing grey English winters."
"I'll still be working as hard as I can these next 2 weeks but I might spend my last day hiding in the kitchen, reminiscing of the good times."
Meet Ryan
We have a new addition to the Godus programming team - Say hello to Ryan!
Tell us about yourself, Ryan!
"So.. My name is Ryan and I'm currently interning at 22cans as part of my course at Goldsmiths University. Before that, I studied Computer Science and previously worked for a design company as a creative technologist."
"I wanted to work for 22cans because I really enjoyed curiosity and Godus and I thought that it'd be great to be a part of the talented team at 22cans."
Ryan is currently working on our Combat Warbands - Creating a navigation system that allows the warband to navigate to their paths whilst staying in formation to give a more realistic feel to them. Neat!
