Stainless Steel Studios Enlists Scenario Designer, Jason "The Rasher" Dillman
New Strike Team Member to contribute to Empire Earth, the cutting edge real-time strategy game
November 28, 2000 - Stainless Steel Studios, developer of the next generation of strategy games,
today announced that Jason "The Rasher" Dillman has joined the Empire Earth
Strike Team. The Strike Team is a group of highly talented, hardcore gamers
who will design, build, and play test Empire Earth's single player
scenarios. Jason is designing a single player campaign that will follow a
portion of British history. He will also add his expertise to the
development of the other planned campaigns and learning scenarios.
Though Jason is 16 years of age, he has already amassed an impressive list
of scenario designing credentials. He created the highly rated "Magnus"
campaign series for Age of Empires. He was a finalist in both the Rise of
Rome Campaign Design Contest and the Mongolian Campaign Design Contest, each
sponsored by the Age of Empires Heaven Web Site, and the Winner of a
Scenario Design Contest sponsored by the AOE2.COM Web Site. More recently,
Jason's Age of Kings scenario "Roland's Quest" received a 4.8 out of 5
rating from AoK Heaven.
Jason is currently a home-schooled grade 12 student living in Dartmouth,
Nova Scotia. Additionally, Jason has been working for over a year at the
Age of Empires Heaven and Age of Kings Heaven Web Sites, where he moderates
the Scenario Editing Forum and writes scenario reviews (over 75 so far).
When Jason heard that Rick Goodman, Lead Designer of Age of Empires, was
working on a new epic real-time strategy project called Empire Earth, he
immediately made contact. When the Strike Team was assembled, Jason was on
it. Jason's intelligence, maturity, and attention to detail assure that his
work on Empire Earth will be of the highest quality.
