The video, titled <a href="http://www.champions-online.com/day_as_a_dev1">"Day as a Dev"</a>, introduces us to the Production Team. Chief Creative Officer Jack Emmert recaps the three titles that the studio is working on: <a href="http://www.champions-online.com/"><em>Champions Online</em></a>, <a href="http://www.startrekonline.com/"><em>Star Trek Online</em></a>, and one unannounced super-secret game. Most of the developers we meet in the video are part of the large <em>Champions</em> team, but all three games are represented.<br /><br />It's always nice to get this sort of behind-the-scenes look at the development process for an anticipated game, and to see how the different aspects come together to make up the whole picture. We also get to see how Bill Roper is doing <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/11/03/flagship-founder-bill-roper-joins-cryptic-studios/">in his new role at Cryptic as Design Director</a> for <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/champions-online/"><em>Champions Online</em></a>. However, we're going to have to award the "best quote" to Randy Mosiondz: "It's a challenging job, but at the end of the day, I make video games, and what's more, a super-hero video game, so there's nothing wrong with that."<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/12/24/take-a-video-tour-of-cryptic-studios/">Take a video tour of Cryptic Studios</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 24 Dec 2008 09:00:00 EST.
