Age of Conan: Developer Profile - Helene Johnsen

in News & Features Discussion

Every month, we profile a different member of the Funcom development team. This month, Helene Johnsen answers our questions. Helene is a Content designer on Age of Conan.


MMORPG.com:

Besides games what other influences brought you into your career? Whether it is books, movies, or artwork everyone has different tastes, tell us about yours.


Helene Johnsen:

I’m a great fan of anything that triggers the imagination. I write stories next to working at Funcom and hope to publish something one day too. The artwork of Luis Royo is absolutely fantastic. I also like the dark atmosphere in Stephen King’s books. Creating websites and interactive content in Adobe Director helped me choose the path of game design. Also Live Action Role-playing (LARP) is something I can recommend for everyone. You are bound to meet a lot of creative people, have fun and explore what it is like to truly be inside the story.

    I think I am in love. Will you marry me blond gamer motorcycle-riding viking temptress?

    Helene, you know you shouldn't let Joel have his own way with those quest ideas... Get that feminine perspective across more by contacting marketing and getting a Friday Quest update! I think it would be a great update!

    Maybe Funcom can have Helene Johnsen make the trip from the land of ice and snow to the North American continent (For Avery's sake I include Canada) with the viking kitties when they finally ship Age of Conan on their warboat across the pond. I think the boat looks big enough to hold her and a few hundred thousand copies of the game.

    Hard to nourish a dream that is so easily crushed by a companys Director of human resources saying; "Your too old, we are looking for young people". My ideas and my dreams are as vivid as any teenagers and perhaps my content for any game I'd get a chance of designing would be as spectacular as any game made by a younger person. But guess I won't get that chance unless I happen to know someone who owns a computer company. Enough with my mad rantings and ravings.

    Great article and GL in the future H.

    I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK I work all day and I MMO all night....
