Galaxy-News: Hi Rob! Please introduce yourself to our readers.

Rob: My name is Rob de Wit and I’m a 22 years old student from The Netherlands.
My interests are making games. I don’t play them allot but when I do, I play RPG’s. That’s also were my inspiration for creating Fight of Ages (FoA) came from. I spent about 4 years on this game!

Galaxy-News: You recently launched a brand new version of Fight of Ages. How did the community react to the game so far? What feedback are you getting?

Rob: Well most of them like the game very much! I’m glad that I made a game which people love to play.

Here are some qoutes of players:

Galaxy-News: What does your daily work for Fight of Ages look like? What are you responsible for?

Rob: The main responsibility is to keep players loving the game. To do so I give them all the help and support that they need. It is also important to create new features and items to make sure no one ever loses interest.

Galaxy-News: In how far is UnitedGames able to support you with your duties? Why did you decide to team up with them?

Rob: I’m just a student with no connections in the gaming world at all. UnitedGames helps me with bringing my game to a higher level, something I couldn’t have done by myself.

Galaxy-News: What's the community’s influence on future development plans?

Rob: If they have nice ideas we can discuss them. More input, better ideas!

When I have an idea but don’t know if the players like it, I just ask them what they think about it. It always gives me a better sight on the player`s expectations.

Galaxy-News: What is your personal highlight within the game? What are you most proud of?

Rob: I’m the most proud of all the players that play FoA. You can imagine that when you put every non-spend hour on developing a game, it makes you very proud when it is finally launched with success.

Galaxy-News: What technology are you using and why?

Rob: The main programming language is PHP, as in most of the browser-based RPG’s. To make sure the code works at his highest performance we use AJAX, which takes care of the irritating page refreshes with every step you take.

Galaxy-News: How many people are currently playing and what are your future plans for new features and yourself?

Rob: We have launched FoA a few days ago in The Netherlands and already 300 people are playing it, we hope this growth will the next couple of months.

I have enough ideas left for the next 3 years. There are so many cool things to add to the game, it will never be finished.

Galaxy-News: Thanks for the interview and good luck for the future!

Rob: Thank you too! By the way, thanks to all the Galaxy-News beta testers, they have done a good job!
