Hi,
I'm 16 and I've been working with maya for around a year, just finishing a Btec course in film and game animation. [Gotta wait till the teacher finishes his holiday] and I was wondering what I would need to do to become involved in the game making process. I know maya would help a lot, although I've got a lot to learn still. I feel I have really good ideas for games and can't wait to get making them into reality. I just want to know where I should go from here, what I should do? Games are my life, since I first played Mario, I've been through many consoles and can't wait for the PS3 and Wii. Hope you can help and hopefully I'll be working for you guys one day. Love all your games and Haze looks great. From Tony

R107 SaysWell Tony, my boy. You might just be in luck. Get yourself down to 'Free Radical's Gong of Terror' at GameCity at the end of October. It's an opportunity for the likes of you to pitch us with your game ideas, and win an internship in our studio. You'd better hurry up though - places are limited. Go to www.gamecity.org and ask them how to get involved. I warn you though, it ain't for the faint of heart.
Dear Free Radical,

Hi R107,
Timesplitters Future Perfect rules. It is better than Halo. I hope you guys keep up the fantastic work. I have a question as well my dumb friend thinks you guys are using the Goldeneye engine for the Timesplitters games. Please clarify that for my friend. We are working on a FPS of our own that is soon to hit the markets not like your guys care. But anyway adding vehicles to TSFP is the coolest thing ever. - Brandon

R107 SaysYes, of course we're still using a ten-year-old N64 engine. We also live in mud huts, and have to power our TVs by pedalling on a bicycle attached to a generator. P.S: Your friend sounds like he knows his stuff.
Hi,
i'm a huge fan of your TimeSplitters series. Still to this day i play it occasionally online for the ps2 despite the unbearable lag caused by the awful maintenance of the EA servers. I'm looking forward to Haze and such, anyways... you guys don't get the recognition you deserve considering your Timesplitters series blows any FPS i've ever played clear out of the water, i'll shut up now but my question is, do you guys intend to keep the same elements in the future timesplitters game?, capture the bag is a must!!!! - Nico

R107 SaysThat's quite enough ass licking for you - you'll give yourself a stomach ache. Now, as for Capture the Bag: if we start developing another TimeSplitters game, I'm sure it will find its way in there.
Dear R106,
I have several questions that I was hoping you could answer for me.
The inclusion of Dr. Doak in Goldeneye was a nice touch. I was just wondering if any of the other Free Radical team members have made cameo appearances in your games or whether they will in the future?
The ending of Timesplitters: Future Perfect made it apparent that a sequel is unlikely. Can you elaborate on this? Do you guys have any plans involving the Timesplitters license for the future? It'd be a shame to see it disappear off the face of the earth.
As a developer, EA take a lot of criticism for the yearly updates of their franchises with minimal differences each time. As a publisher, however, they seem to do a good job with most titles. Though after the release of Stranger's Wrath, Oddworld Inhabitants came out and scrutinized their abilities. They claimed EA didn't give the title the support it deserved, which to be honest I agree with. I was just wondering if Free Radical had any trouble with EA during the development process of Timesplitters: Future Perfect? I believe they suggested adding vocal effects to the Deathmatch. Did they suggest or implement anything else along the way?

R107 SaysYes. Remember the Gingerbread Man? He's is our Chief Financial Officer. And that Dinosaur? He's on reception.
Aren't HAZE and the LucasArts project enough for you? Jesus. You people are never happy. Tell you what, I will personally program a whole new TimeSplitters game when you send me proof that you have completed the first three at 100%. Deal?
As I believe is customary, I would like to use this opportunity to take credit for all the things you liked in TimeSplitters Future Perfect, and to blame anything you didn't like on everyone else.

R107 SaysWhat the hell are you talking about.
Yes. He went on to write about some of his personal experiences here in the Kevin Bacon movie 'The Woodsman'.
Of course it won't be fun. It's a game - not something to be used for meaningless delightful entertainment.
The guerrillas of course. They kill people, and eat them. That's pretty evil.
Yes. See you Monday. The toilet upstairs is blocked, so bring your toothbrush.
Because 2009 is my favourite number. Well, apart from 55378008, which spells "BOOBLESS" on an upside down calculator.

Dear Free Radical,
OMG why do you not read my emails and post them here? I think they should make R107 bot "person" have a full time reading "all" emails. Also paid very little no break and so on.......... - Abel

R107 SaysI'm too busy watching videos of skateboarders crippling themselves on youtube.
Dear Free Radical,
why are you dressed as a robot? and have you ever fought with the robots in the wars? - Ben
