Last Monday I once again attended the AutoAssault Roadhouse: Happy Hour. This time, the topic of the teleconference was the races and the classes, and we were joined by NetDevil’s three lead game designers: Chris “Ombwah” Hulkworf (Human Lead), Adam “Snipe Hunter” Maxwell (Mutant Lead), and Hal “Maraider” Hamlin (Biomek Lead) as well as Ryan Seabury (Design Director) and NCSoft’s Valerie “Pann” Massey.

We started the hour off with back stories. Each of the developers shared their race’s point of view on the events that led up to present day AutoAssault. It was an extremely enjoyable and extremely entertaining hour; the three lead designers certainly know how to get into character, and there was plenty of name calling (all in good spirits, of course) between the three races.
