Campfire Chat Answers

Hi all!

With both the HTML5 & NIS update in Beta, we thought this would be an excellent time for you to ask the JMods questions regarding these incredibly awesome updates.

Without further ado, I introduce to you not one, not two, not three but four Developers!


Mod Conor
I’m Conor Senior Project Manager on RuneScape. While I manage a large variety of projects and updates my main focus is Engine, tech and tools. My work involves interacting with people in every area of the business to identify what needs to be done and when to get everything together to release to players on time
I played games all my life and its fantastic getting content into the hands of players to see what they do with it.

So ask me anything from how we decide what to do next to the point we get it to the players and I’ll do my best to give you a sensible answer.


Mod Brain
My name is Mod Brain (or Ingo in RL) and I manage the QA team for Runescape here at Jagex.
I joined Jagex in 2012 and already saw the Evolution of Combat from beta through to release. My team has been super busy lately, not only testing the new and upcoming content but also focusing heavily on the HTML5 client and the exciting New Interface System, that is now in Alpha.

I recently unlocked the last region in Player owned Ports and now work on getting the last scroll pieces together for my shiny new Melee and Magic Armour sets from Ports! When not playing Runescape in my spare time, I will most likely spend time on my Console or PC shooting things that are undead, or alien, or …well anything really.


Mod Chris E

I've worked at Jagex since 2004 as in many roles, from QA, Game Engine, and others through to my position now as Innovation lead. For the past year and a bit I've been developing, with a lot of assistance from the rest of the team, the HTML5 development platform and game client.

We've been focussing on removing our historical dependence on Java because of its declining market share and security problems. I'm happy to answer any questions you have on the new technology we're using, what our plans are for it in the future and any problems you've been having with the beta.


Mod Z


I’m Jose Pinhao, Mod Z, and I’m a Content Developer on Runescape. Most of my work involves building new interfaces and improving older ones, fixing issues with the game, and have worked amongst other things on the Make-X rework last year, and currently on the New Interface System for RS3.
I absolutely love getting deep into hard to solve issues, which feel like a good puzzle to me, and building systems that can be used by the content team to deliver you progressively better updates.
I’m looking forward to chat with you all and hopefully answering all of your burning questions!

Mod Jane

Mod Rocket

As before, we'll be here ensuring they are fed, watered and unable to escape!
Should you have any questions for me, I'll be only too happy to answer them.

FAQ

• Where can I ask my questions?
  You can ask your questions in the dedicated thread that you can find here .


• Can I ask my question in this thread instead?
  Unfortunately no, you will have to use the thread mentioned above for all your questions. That thread will be opened just before the Campfire is due to start. I'm afraid that any questions asked in this thread will go unanswered.


• Where will the Live Forum Campfire take place?
  Right here in the General Forum.
