Fall from Heaven new team member!

[Kael]

Stéphane "Sto" Nadry has been invited the Fall from Heaven team. Anyone who has read Fall from Heaven changelogs will know that he has been credited with fixes for quite a while. But you may not realize that these fixes are often in the most difficult areas to program, AI endless loops and worse.

He also developed the Random Leaders by Alignment function for FfH. When I asked him to program Somnium for 0.34 he not only did an amazing job in implementing it, but beat the timeline and had it ready for 0.33.

So thank you Sto, and welcome to the team!

Congrats and best wishes to Sto

Let's keep fingers crossed for less pages in the bug thread now that another Coder joined

 

[Sto]

I'm really happy to join the team and help on the most amazing MOD ever done.
I am impatient to start working on new features.

Tcho !

Yeah, congratulations!!!

You surely are worthy of being awarded the exquisite membership.
Anyway I agree that this official invite is more likely the official confirmation of the way it worked earlier...

Congratz again

So, did you decide that thew NDA with Firaxis wasn't that important to being on the team, or did you convince them to let Sto in? I remember a post not too long ago saying that if it weren't for the NDA both Sto and Xienwolf would probably be on the team. Is he or anyone else getting too in eventually?

 

[KillerClowns]

Have a drink on me, you lucky dog! Congratulations on fufilling almost every FfH forum poster's dream!

Wow, I've seen Sto's name in bug fixes so often that I assumed he was already in the team. It always makes me happy to see the FF team grow - especially in the department of coding. Welcome Sto!


However, with this being a fan based mod, does Firaxis still have say on how the FFH team operates? If anything, I seriously think you should be demanding a bit of a stipends from them with how many customers Kael and the others have netted for them. At least 3 I know personally.

They dont have a say. But it used to be that the entire team was NDA with Firaxis, so we talked about internal firaxis stuff in the team forum. Because of that I couldn't invite people that weren't NDA onto the team.

But Firaxis significantly cut down their internal access so not all of the team is on anymore and we don't talk about internal firaxis stuff in the team forum. So I dont worry about inviting non-nda members like i used to.
