First Strike Dev Diary 14

Hey, friends!


They call me JayBiggS and I'm a texture artist for First Strike. I hail from the land of the beaver (Canada) and I've been modding for about 4-5 years now.


Before joining First Strike I was co-founder of the Galactic Conquest mod for Battlefield 1942 and stayed on until development was complete. Then the GC team decided to come up with a brand new concept, and Shattered Faith was born. After a few months of work on SF, the team sort of fell apart and FSDev|Preacher brought First Strike to my attention. The rest is history!




My duties here consist of texturing models and post production quality control. I'd say the main things I've been working on have been the weapons. I enjoy the challenge of trying to recreate the props used in the films as close as I can get them. I want you to play our mod and watch the Star Wars films, and recognize details you maybe wouldn't have before playing First Strike. We have scoured every possible source, the films, cartoons, games, books, and toys to come up with what we hope will be the most visually accurate depiction of the saga in game form. No small task, to be sure, but thus far I'd say we are approaching that goal.


Well, I'm out of time, I need to get back to work.


See you on the battlefield, Soldier!


Jay "The Hurricane" BiggS
