What is your job at EA Phenomic?

In HipHop you would probably say I "represent“. My job as a Producer at Phenomic cannot be described in a few sentences. Generally, I'm there to make things happen.

What does your daily work look like?

It's basically talking all day... with the team, the people from EA, external partners, the press, my mom, and so on. Apart from that I spend quite a lot of time writing and answering e-mails. I also travel around the world, telling people about my honest opinion that BattleForge is a milestone(!). I'm especially proud of this personal contribution to BattleForge: My all-explaining tutorial videos that leave no question unanswered.

What is especially challenging in your job?

To get what I want…

Which feature of BattleForge do you think is especially cool?

Definitely the cooperative PvE  missions. It's a lot of fun to rebuild your decks again and again and come up with different strategies together while trying to finish a map, until you finally beat it.

What are your hopes for BattleForge?

I hope that the people out there understand our intention with BattleForge. I love good old RTS  games. But with the online-only character of BattleForge, the community aspect and the continuous content extensions, we breathe new life into the dusty genre.

Fire, Frost, Nature or Shadow?

Yes.

Do you have a favorite unit in the game?

There are a lot of really cool units, but for nostalgic reasons my favorite unit is the Juggernaut. He was our first XL unit, and his special skill "Stampede“ just rules everything else!

What was your first video game?

Volker's Emerald Mine oO oO

Since you're playing a lot – what games would you take to a desert island?

Wow, this question is a little bit off, isn't it, Tiphon? I'd only take my loved one to a desert island, that's for sure. And if she doesn't have time, I'd take BattleForge, or maybe WoW? (don't hit me!)

Are you an active Trading Card Game player?

No, I only play an RTS  with TGC elements.

Complete this sentence: On the day BattleForge is released...

... I'll play BattleForge.

Do you have a guiding principle you follow when working on BattleForge?

We'll all go to hell and have a lot of fun... ... priorities direct lives.

Is there anything else you'd like to let us know?

Yes, I'm selling my car! A Golf IV, 160,000 km, black, with EA stickers on it. Only serious offers to sebastian-nell-is-selling-his-golf@battleforge.com
