    00:00:00.170 --> 00:00:01.390
>> My name is a Brad Hines [assumed spelling],

    00:00:01.390 --> 00:00:07.030
and I'm a computer games programmer
working for Daybreak Games Company.

    00:00:07.030 --> 00:00:09.620
So I write game systems.

    00:00:09.620 --> 00:00:14.700
So they're kind of the bigger
pieces of video games.

    00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:15.930
Not the graphics.

    00:00:15.930 --> 00:00:21.720
It's kind of how the game works, so I write
the code that makes the game actually function.

    00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:27.500
A designer comes up with an idea that
they want something to happen in the game.

    00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:31.390
Like, for example, the game that I'm working
on right now, they came up with an idea

    00:00:31.390 --> 00:00:33.780
that they want to be able in the game

    00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:40.870
to construct player-made
bases around the game world.

    00:00:40.870 --> 00:00:51.030
So I pretty much implemented the entire system
of how you get the resources that they make,

    00:00:51.030 --> 00:00:53.890
that they use to make these
player-constructed bases.

    00:00:53.890 --> 00:00:59.000
So I kind of am the tool for going
from what the designers come up with

    00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:01.280
to actually seeing it in the game.

    00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.170
So I currently am working on PlanetSide 2.

    00:01:04.170 --> 00:01:08.260
I worked on PlanetSide 1 as well.

    00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:14.360
They're the first really massively
multiplayer online first-person shooter games.

    00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:18.190
So they're kind of unique in the realm.

    00:01:18.190 --> 00:01:20.460
And they're still fairly unique.

    00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:24.390
There's a lot of games that kind
of say that they want to be like it

    00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:27.550
but they're not to the scale that our game is.

    00:01:27.550 --> 00:01:33.770
I mean, because our game has thousands of
people playing on the same servers at a time.
