===INVOLVEMENT===
===INVOLVEMENT===
'''What was your role in designing MediEvil?'''<br />I worked mainly on the construction of maps, levels and environments in which the characters move. I worked with Mike Philbin. Between the two of us, we have almost done everything with regards to this part of the project. I also animated some of the characters, ants, witches, little hands and rats. . . little things. . . Mr. Organ is a strange little character who appears only once in the game and is a kind of little secret. . . He sits and plays the organ, looking a little ghostly and half crazy. . .
'''What did you actually do on MediEvil?'''<br>I worked primarily on constructing the maps, the levels, the environments that the guy runs around in. I worked with [[Mike Philbin]] on that. Between us we pretty much did the whole lot. What I did as well was animate some of the characters, the ants and the witches and the little hands, rats. . . little bits and pieces. . . [[Mr Organ]] is a strange little character that appears only once in the game and he's sort of a little secret. . . He just sits there and plays an organ, a bit ghostly and crazy-looking. . .
'''Does he turn up in a certain level?'''<br />Yes, he is sitting in the desecrated church. . .


'''So he has a secret?'''<br />Yes, a little puzzle about him.
'''Is he on a particular level?'''<br>Yeah. He's in the desacrated church. . .


'''Does it have to be discovered to advance in the game?'''<br />No, it's optional.
'''So he's got a secret?'''<br>Yeah, there's a little puzzle involving him.


'''Is this part of the game the part that you consider "your" part and that you are really happy with.'''<br />Yes, it's one of my favorite parts.
'''Do you have to do it to get through the game?'''<br>No, it's a little option on the side.
 
'''Is that the part of the game you look at and think that's your part and you're really pleased with it.'''<br>Yeah, that's one of my favourite parts.
===GRAVEYARD HASSLE===
===GRAVEYARD HASSLE===
'''What's the bit you sweated most over - the bit you went over again and again. . . The most hassle?'''<br />The very first level I think has caused the entire team the most hassle. . . The graveyard.

'''Is that because it was the first level and you wanted it to be right?'''<br />It was the first level we made and it's gone through so many changes. You know, it was a sort of practice first time round so that one has evolved immensely. I hate it now! I'll be very happy if I never have to touch that level again.

'''But you are working on a new project now so you do not have to go back to it.'''<br />Yes, I am working on a new project.
'''But you're working on another project now so you're away from it.'''<br>Yeah, I'm working on a new project.


'''So in a few months, you will go back there, look at it and it will please you.'''<br />Oh yes, I like to play it, I do not want to have to change it again, that's all.
'''So in a few months you'll go back to it and look at it and it'll be alright.'''<br>Oh yeah, I enjoy playing it, I just don't want to have to alter it ever again.
===WORKING DAY===
===WORKING DAY===
'''What's your working day like when you are here? What do you actually do?'''<br />Come in. Usually I'd know what I'd be working on. Constructing a map or a character. Sometimes animation which is a really nice change. In the later stages of the project, the last few months, it's been a lot of time fixing so it's been quite monotonous and no longer exciting like the first few days by the fact that I've no artistic input any more. But at the start it was very exciting because you have a new map to build or a new character. . .
