Stainless
Steel Studios Adds Scenario Designer, Christopher "Eggman"
Theriault
New
scenario designer to contribute to Empire Earth, the next generation of
real-time
strategy games.
September
18, 2000
Stainless
Steel Studios, the cutting edge strategy game developer, today
announced
the addition of a new designer to the Empire Earth development
team.
Christopher "Eggman" Theriault has joined Stainless Steel Studios as
a
Scenario Designer. Chris’ responsibilities will include editing and
coordinating
the production of the single player campaigns for Empire Earth,
and
creating the design specification for Empire Earth’s robust scenario
editor.
Chris
started designing game scenarios for fun during his career in the US
Army
and in two years he created more than 30 Age of Empires scenarios.
Well
known in the Age of Empires community for his intricate story lines and
exceptional
ability to integrate the story with game play, Chris actively
participated
in online contests and tournaments. He tied for third place in
a
Roman-themed scenario designing contest and tied for first place in a
contest
to create a Mongolian campaign, both sponsored by the "Age of
Empires
Heaven" Web site. For his Mongolian campaign, one judge, who worked
on
AoE, awarded Chris a perfect score.
About
his decision to join SSSI, Chris said, "I wanted to come here because
SSSI
is working on a game that is the next step beyond the one that first
lured
me into the world of scenario designing [AoE]. It was an opportunity
I
couldn’t pass up."
