I did let Christy know when the interview was going up, so perhaps she'll stop by and comment. I think that would be preferable to me emailing her more questions.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946742995687817751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-50474894496893228402016-05-10T21:30:58.163+10:002016-05-10T21:30:58.163+10:00It seems like Sierra was a very collegial company ...It seems like Sierra was a very collegial company to work for back in those days, and very fun; the "Wild West," as Christy puts it. That sense of fun comes through in the games produced at the time.

It helped that Christy was so open and available for all of our questions.

We saw her around the building, dropped in on her team from time to time, and occasionally did something social with her, Gano Haine, and Ellen Guon (Beeman). But we had almost no interaction with them on game development. In hindsight, that's really a shame. Those were and are three great female game developers at a time when most games were made by men. They're also all really good people.<br /><br />Our friend Richard Aronson was the lead programmer of Conquests of the Longbow, his first game industry job... which I talked him into interviewing for. It didn't take *too* much talking, as he and his wife loved Oakhurst and Yosemite.Corey Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772474266362396768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-80305164768549215312016-05-09T01:38:09.675+10:002016-05-09T01:38:09.675+10:00This is a fantastic interview, honestly I think th...This is a fantastic interview, honestly I think the best we have ever done.
