What direction do you ultimately want Dust to go in? Gah, RUST. I mean’t Rust.

What brought you into programming? What was your first computer? What was your first ‘application’ you ever created?

I think I’d played all the games on our Sinclair Spectrum, so started reading the manual and exploring the menu. I’m curious by nature – so if there’s a menu option I’m gonna have to look at what it does. My first application that I can think of was called quick flicks or something. It flashed the screen and a circle slowly drew itself over the screen. I didn’t know what I was doing really, but I managed to save it to a tape so I could load it at any time. I was about 10 I think.

Besides Rust and Garry’s Mod, what is Facepunch Studios LTD working on?

We are starting work on a new PC game. It’s a game I’ve wanted to start work on for ages. I’m trying to get a team together in office to build it this time.. I don’t really want to talk about it until we’ve got something more solid though.

Tobba’s shader system worked but it wasn’t really possible to do anything complicated with it as far as I could see.
