Meet the Team - Stephen D'Angelo

[nhamlett]

It's not dilithium crystals that keep Star Trek Online running. It's our programming lead, Stephen D'Angelo. Underneath this mild mannered programmer lies a Jean Luc Picard! Without further ado we bring you the next Meet the Team - Engage!

Read about it! (http://www.startrekonline.com/meet_the_team/sdangelo)

Hi, Stephen -- thanks for sharing that info with us!

Some day I hope you'll be able to tell us about the software development tools and processes that you, as lead, expect and help the programming team to use, as well as how you lead the overall development process.

The only good bug is one that never makes it into Production. :)

Good to meet you Stephen :)

[RogueEnterprise]

Cool reading about you, Stephen. Maybe you'll stop into the forums sometime.

[MoppyCGDaniels]

I personaly dislike the Borg & Cpt. Picard had never gotten above his wale, but I can live with his new position.

Anyway hell of a interview which includes a fine solution of the Kobayashi Maru.

[47Wasps]

Oh,a Pokemon fan.
I respect that.
Best of luck to you and your quest to be the very best(that no one ever was)

[KirksOtherSon]

Good to meet you, Stephen!

While you bring obvious technical skills to the game, I'm impressed that you also bring a pretty keen understanding of what makes Star Trek work on a human level.

And this statement of yours? "They showed me how great games have more to them than button mashing"

I can think of a few dozen game designers working today who could do well to have this tattooed on some part of their body so they don't forget it in their future work! ;)

We're in good hands, I think.

And ... despite your claims to Vulcan ancestry, I confess I now picture you as the STO dev team's version of Scotty. To wit:

Captain Zinc: "Stephen ... we ... needmorepower ... if ... we're ... goingtomake ... the next ... milestone!"

Chief Engineer Stephen: "Captain, we're codin' as fast as we can! We cannae hold this speed forever, or she's gonna blow!"

Cheers,

KOS

Hello Sir. Make it a good one ;)

[A_Martin]

[Tamgros]

Wow, so there really are more than five devs working on STO ;)

Good work though, I'm really starting to enjoy the screen shots coming out.

[Trekkie]

It's very nice to get to know a little bit more about you, Stephen! I cannot wait to play the game and experience all of the hard work that you (and all of the other members of the development staff, for that matter) have put into it. Thank you for posting this!

[Mmore]

Keep 'm coming!

Gotta love pokemon by the way! :D

[0wl]

Make it so...oh and nice to meet you! :)

[47Wasps]

More Pokemon updates please.

Gotta love pokemon by the way! :D

(laughs)
So say we all...

[ronaldheld]

Good to be introduced to you.

[Ensign.Ricky]

If I see a pikachu in game I am blaming you Stephen...

[PaperBackHero]

No you won't. Once pikachu electrocutes you, you will lose all memory of seeing it.:p

[47Wasps]

If I see a pikachu in game I am blaming you Stephen...

(laughs)
that gave me the most brilliant idea.
I'm going to create a custom race which shall bare striking resemblance to a (more literally than not) "evolved" Pikachu.

[KirksOtherSon]

Wasps, that's just perverse, man ... :eek:

Well, either perverse or an oxymoron ("evolved Pikachu"?). We'll let Dr. Victor Frankenstein decide.

Cheers,

KOS

[Doug3575]

Keep up the good work!

[Warp_Speed]

Keep doing what your doing, and make sure it's great! I mean, make sure it lives up to the hype, do not diapooint, or it will be futile, for you!

[Jray132f]

hey dude I appreciate your hard work just make sure that you make STO a great game

[Fencer8]

You do realize now 47Wasps, that this will inspire all though's who want beings from just about any other source to be brought in to existence. The bounds of what would be expected, have now, had the flood gates thrown open.:D

[Powerhelm]

What pokemon does he need?! That is the question on everyone's mind!
