| 0s | petroglyph was a game company started by |
|---|---|
| 3s | three programmers from Westwood Studios |
| 5s | Electronic Arts decided to close down |
| 7s | Westwood studios Westwood we were famous |
| 10s | for working on command & Conquer and |
| 12s | other RTS games like the dune series a |
| 15s | lot of us from there were invited by EA |
| 17s | to go out to Los Angeles and you know be |
| 20s | in their new studio there many of us |
| 22s | just like Las Vegas too much to actually |
| 24s | leave and so these three programmers who |
| 27s | were Mike leg Joe Bostick and Steve tall |
| 30s | they met up with someone at LucasArts at |
| 33s | the time and LucasArts was looking for a |
| 35s | developer to work on a real-time |
| 37s | strategy game |
| 38s | we got the Star Wars Empire war project |
| 40s | and it was off to the races from there |
| 42s | from that game we kind of sprung sprung |
| 45s | into other types of titles we |
| 48s | experimented with board games and |
| 50s | console games and things like that but |
| 52s | we've always had a core competency |
| 54s | around RTS 80% of the people that we |
| 56s | hired back we're from Westwood so they |
| 58s | were all RTS veterans I was actually a |
| 60s | designer on the Tiberian Sun Mak r2 and |
| 64s | I was the lead designer on the firestorm |
| 66s | expansion for that project petroglyph is |
| 68s | now 15 years old and we love playing |
| 71s | strategy games and we love making |
| 72s | strategy games and that has brought us |
| 74s | here to today where we're working on |
| 76s | Tony and Concord and we're just loving |
| 79s | it I like to think of us as a ragtag |
| 81s | group of adventurers right it's like |
| 84s | each one of us has a different skill |
| 87s | sets but we all mesh well together we |
| 89s | all have different talents and abilities |
| 91s | that we bring to the table in different |
| 93s | hats that we wear but the end of the day |
| 95s | we're just trying to make better |
| 97s | strategy games it also really helps if |
| 99s | you met you're making a game that you |
| 101s | enjoy playing which most of the time I |
| 103s | do |
