Jack,

Just curious, but how is it you ago about choosing your writers, artists, and musicians? Do you go to a website where you hire them? Find out about them by word of mouth?

What is the method to the madness?

For artists I look on deviantart.com, for the rest sometimes I "post an ad" on twitter, or very often they send me email offering their services. Of course, only a few are reliable enough and manage to finish something

....Bet there must be days you wished -all- your associate artists worked directly under you ,and had to meet up at the Winterwolves Headquarters every morning for 18 hour work sessions before being let home. :D Like those huge game studios

Yes, so I could use my spiked whip in real life should be very effective!

Goodness! I'm not sure what'd kill me first. The whip or the commute.

Commute? no need, you'll get a free accommodation in one of my dungeon cells! Since you're a coder, will give you one with a view on the mountains nearby to relax

I wouldn't mind full time work but on the other hand I wouldn't want to live in Italy. No offence to Jack but the political system isn't too great.

Italy is good just to come on holiday. Nothing else, sadly. Worst place in the world to run a business. I've been thinking to move a lot of times

I would like to help you as a writer but I live in South Carolina so I wouldn't be able to commute. Still that's what email and Skype is for I guess.

I find it quite easy to work with Jack. He leaves a lot of artistic latitude to his collaborators and his only constant word of advice is: "In the end, players will be the judge of our work"

But as he said, there are 50 unfinished projects for each complete game. Over the years, I provided music for many, many game projects and not one of them reached playable status.
