Adam Snellgrove 1451 Posted October 22, 2019 Every week we'll bring you an Ynterview with a member of our Ylands team. In this week's Ynterview we talk to the mysterious Vojtěch 'Iceman' Kovařič. First off, what do you do here at the Ylands team and what’d you do before you joined? Hello everyone, my role on Ylands is a producer. Essentially, I make sure the team members always know what to do, are as uninterrupted from their work as possible, and have all the tools they need to be successful. Before that, I worked on Arma 3, Bohemia’s military shooter, as Project Lead. How long have you worked on Ylands? What was the 1st thing you worked on when you joined? I joined the team about a year ago or so. The first thing probably was introducing a new feature pipeline, which brought some system into how game additions are developed on Ylands. Why are you called Iceman? It goes way back, actually, and I’ll keep it as a frozen, dark secret. What do you find most exciting on Ylands in general? The endless possibilities that Ylands offers. With little to no scripting knowledge, everyone is able to build their own games. And not only that, the ways to share and play them with others already come with the package! And what is for you the most exciting feature coming in the near future? Additional cameras. It really is a game-changer, offering literally a whole new perspective on how the game can be played. What are you working on right now? At the moment, the whole team is racing to finish the game and release it later this year. As you can imagine, it takes quite a lot of organisation and overview to make sure everyone is on the right track and have everything they need. What was the most difficult thing to implement to date? I think the UI overhaul we did a couple of months ago takes the cake. We ended up working on it much longer than originally planned, with unexpected issues surfacing the more we would dig. Luckily enough, and thanks to an enormous effort of everyone involved, we made it. What do you do in your free time? I love listening to and playing music, and other than that, reading, playing games and socialising. What is better, Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly or Bob the Builder?
