--Planet AvP | Interviews

Interviews with important people in the Aliens vs. Predator community - company officials, mod makers and other community members - are held here. [Officials] [Modmakers] Officials Hal Zabie - October 30, 2007 - by Gareth Von Kallenbach Recently, I had the chance to speak with Hal Zabie - Associate Producer, Sierra Entertainment - about the pending PSP release of AvP Requiem. I want to thank Hal and Bree Cotten for making this interview happen. David Stalker - July 23, 2004 - by Gareth Von Kallenbach Recently, I had the chance to ask David Stalker, Executive Producer of Vivendi Universal Games, about the coming action/adventure game, Predator: Concrete Jungle. Dave and the good folks at Vivendi were very gracious and took the time out from their hectic schedules for this exclusive interview, courtesy of Planet AvP and Skewed and Reviewed. Mike Arkin - June 24, 2003 - by David Shipley Zono Entertainment is creating the upcoming console game, AvP: Extinction. Mike Arkin is the leading producer for the company. When we wanted to know more about the game, we made sure to send him ten important questions on the juciest bits! David Stalker - August 28, 2003 - by David Shipley Advertisement The Producer for Fox Interactive, David Stalker, has agreed to an interview with Planet AvP. It's not our first interview with the man, but we hope it turns out to be the good as the last time - where we got to call him Darth Vader, and he told us all about the new game... Paul Pawlicki - July 06, 2002 - by David Shipley As Assistant Producer for Fox Interactive, Mr. Paul Pawlicki is on the forefront of production for both AvP2 and AvP2: Primal Hunt, along with some other of Fox's upcoming games - in this interview, we talk to him about all three: Aliens vs. Predator II Aliens vs. Predator II: Primal Hunt Aliens vs. Predator III Sarita Churchill - June 07, 2002 - by David Shipley The hardworking, talented and beautiful Sarita Chuchill, PR Manager for Vivendi Universal, is on the spotlight today in this in-depth interview; if you're interested at all in AvP2: Primal Hunt, her role in it, and her experiences as a PR Manager for a major company, you'll definitely want to continue from here. William Westwater - November 20, 2001 - by David Shipley Mr. William Westwater, the Lead Project Designer for Monolith Productions, has already become a house-hold name in the AvP community. Constantly on the forefront of explaining just how good this game is, we thought we'd like to ask him a few questions about that. Pezman - March 18, 2001 - by David Shipley Pezman has done a lot in the AvP community; he's created the first tech support site for AvP, runs AvPNews.com, runs AliensversusPredator.com, and - if that weren't enough already - works as a QA Tester for Fox Interactive. As QA Tester for Fox, it's a forgone conclusion that this guy knows some things about the upcoming AvP Gold Edition, and other things Fox is diabolically doing. So, I've asked some questions about that, and here we go... Rebellion Webmaster - October 13, 2000 - by David Shipley Some of us have wondered who is the mysterious and nameless person who runs of the official Rebellion site, but that's something we'll never find out. Instead, this interview shows what it's like to be this name employee, who works hard to service the AvP community. LoPin - August 18, 1999 - by David Shipley LoPin is the Webmaster of the official AvP site, AliensversusPredator.com. In this interview, we're going to talk about LoPin personally, how he feels about his job and the site itself. Modmakers 'Alien vs. Marine' Crew - February 06, 2006 - by David Shipley There's a new Half-Life 2 mod coming up called Alien vs. Marine -- yeah, you get to kill Aliens and knock-up Marines with the super-cool Source engine. It's being developed by a talented team of mod-makers at Facepunch Studios, two of whom were kind enough to grant us an interview. [Alpha]InfamousAndy - March 11, 2002 - by Johner Who is [Alpha]InfamousAndy? Well, if you're a known user/abuser of mods, you've probably tried his fantastic AvP 2: Special Edition modification. Its new releases are something we all look forward to; to find out if there are new releases planned, we interviewed Andy, and asked for answers. AXP Team - February 22, 2002 - by Matt Pruitt Matt Pruitt sits down with the AXP team who are currently developing the AXP: Extreme modification for Aliens Versus Predator II. Paul Sach - January 14, 2002 - by Matt Pruitt Paul Sach is currently making the Aliens Versus Predator Animated Movie all by himself, which includes the animation, sound, texturizing, and everythign else that goes into an animated movie. Paul agreed to sit down and do this interview with me. Devilock - October 06, 2001 - by David Shipley Speak of the Devil, is a talented modder named Jonas "Devilock" Mellberg. As Webmaster of the Gathering, a massive AvP2 mod project, he impressed all of us by making the first-ever AvP2 skin: "Mama's Boy." It was only a matter of time before we tracked him down and had our way with him (read: interview). AvP Mission Pack Team - March 14, 2001 - by David Shipley The AvP Mission Pack (AMP) is an upcoming mod project being worked on by almost a dozen staff members. Focusing on the single-player area of AvP, this mod will provide new levels, new weapons, new skins and a whole lot of other great features. And so, I figured we need to know more about the men who are making this happen, and more about this upcoming mod. Vegeta Interview #2 - February 09, 2001 - by Matt Pruitt This interview is with the founder of the AvP Invasion Mod, Veveta, who many people have came to know and like, including myself. So, I thought that it would be great to give Vegeta a chance and clarify a lot of things. And I would like to start off slow, and then get more complicated. So, here it goes. Brian Haley - November 17, 2000 - by David Shipley Want to know this guy? Well, Brian Haley here is the Webmaster of one of our mod hosted sites, APC Works. There, he writes very useful Aliens vs. Predator programs for the community, along with also making maps as well (who knows, maybe even skins in the future). A very talented man, writing very useful programs for the community. Vegeta - September 16, 2000 - by David Shipley Vegeta is one of the head guys over at the AvP Invasion mod team. He's Webmaster of the Web site, uses his mod skills to help the mod get finished soon and also works as the spokesman for the mod. He's an essential member of the Invasion team, and we felt he deserved an interview. Henry Leinen - June 12, 2000 - by Glock For the last year, Henry Leinen has been working tirelessly on creating a level editor for Aliens vs. Predator. He runs his own software company, and is trying to get his PhD. Now no longer a member of the PREditor team, he and his brother Chris are now making their tools for themselves, and for the AvP community. Chris Leinen - April 19, 2000 - by Glock Chris Leinen, along with his brother, Henry, are the ones developing the PREditor, which is the AvP Level Editor. What these guys have done for the AvP community so far has given hope to many passionate fans of AvP. The recent release of a preview of the PREditor has many excited at the prospect of creating custom levels for AvP in the very near future. But as this interview demonstrates, the best is yet to come… Sadogoat - February 18, 2000 - by David Shipley Sadogoat is the Webmaster of the first (and one of the best) mod sites in the AvP community; Cocoon-Ed. He has made various skin and sound packs himself, which sure makes him an essential part of the AvP community. He definitely deserves this interview. Top Cat - November 24, 1999 - by Gary Langridge Tom Crosswell (Top Cat) is the Producer of the PREditor team. The PREditor team seeks to create many new programs to help the AvP community, like a level editor and much, much more. Boris - October 28, 1999 - by David Shipley Boris is the guy who created the controversial AvP trainer that actually and illegally works in multi-play, allowing players to win by cheating against other players. In this interview, we're going to give his side of the story, and find out why he did such a thing.
