It's time again for another Ask a Dev question thread. This time, it's Positron. Who is Positron? He's Matt Millar, systems designer. And what does that mean? In his own words:
I am a systems designer. This means that I sit down and try to come up with new and exciting things for players to do in the "City Of" universe. In addition to coming up with improvements to combat (the core of City of Heroes), I also try to come up with interesting alternates to simply fighting. This may seem like an easy job, but one thing that you have to be aware of while designing a system is how it is going to interact with all the other systems. What are the unusual situations that can happen to players as they interact with the system? How does the system handle with Condition X? How does it handle Condition X, when Condition Y and Z are also present? Crazy stuff like that. Then there are the little details. The crossed T's and dotted I's. Things like what is the title of the badge you earn? What category is said badge? What does the badge look like? Is it a small badge or a large one? Etc.
