CCP Rise has been with the company for a little bit over a year now. He is one of the most visible members of our game design team, working heavily on balancing ships alongside CCPs Fozzie and Ytterbium. In this Developer Spotlight, we took a look at what he does with the company, how he got here, and a little bit about him as a person!

Also, this week we tried a different format, as compared to last week. This time we did a rather straightforward Q&A session as opposed to an article. Let me know which version you prefer!

In my experience so far, the job is roughly an equal mix of analysis, creativity and communication.

I would love to see the analysis tools you guys work with internally. and also I love the communication that comes out of you guys now. that was my biggest gripe a few years back it seemed like the design team just didn't communicate at all.

the new eden open ad of rise was hilarious..

who knew he had so many talents

also .. sounds like there are too many meetings not enough fixing the game being done..

i prefer the Q&A version but feel free to add some article padding .. we want more info and jokes/witty one liners please :)

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Interesting reading about the recruitment / hiring process.
Proves that there is definitely a huge barrier to anyone getting hired who actually does not buy into the groupthink of "null sec good, everything else bad".

CCP Rise:

I inherited my Grandfather's Cello recently. Any pointers for where to start for the self-learner?

Fun Dev Blog! Keep on those internet Spaceships. Still hoping to see T2 industrials/Noctis/Faction BS by summer! :) ::poke, prod::

That I agree with. Hopefully this type of insight might give confidence to others that many gamers dream career is actually available to people with the right attitude and aptitude.

On the subject of format, the interview with Punkturis was ok and so was the Q&A, though I liked the Q&A a bit more. I think trying different formats, anything that works well, would be a better approach that trying to find one single formula.
