Hey SSX fans, welcome to the SSX Dev Team ‘Check-in’ blog! Ever wonder what some of the people making SSX are into? What they’ve been playing or what they like? Well then this blog series is for you! Ever wonder what a Technical Director does? Read on to find out…
Who I am: Jeff Mrochuk - Technical Director
I’m the TD that oversees the technical details of all of the content in the game. I’ve spent most of my time on SSX working with the tracks. The tools that we use to build them, and how they fit on the disc, and how they render in-game.
What I’ve been listening to:
LCD Soundsystem – This is happening
What I’ve been eating:
Anything vegetarian, especially Indian.
What I’ve been reading:
A Clash of Kings
What I’ve been watching:
Arrested Development for the 20th time
What I’ve been playing:
Skyrim, with the occasional Saint’s Row: The Third break. Plus I always have to make room for Super Street Fighter IV.
What has me hooked:
My 4 month old daughter, Lily! Every day she does something new.
What my favourite part of working on SSX has been:
The challenge of producing the massive world and fitting it all into the game. We’ve built a great team, with great tech that make it a pleasure to work with. Now we’re at the point where we have a blast trying to beat each other’s scores on the dev team.
