Little Green Men Games - Who are we?

[Zenoslaf]

Some people asked on official forum what is LGM and how many of us are in here. The question was raised a long time ago, but I'll answer it again. :)

There are currently 12 of us in Little Green Men Games, located in Croatia. LGM was responsible for Starpoint Gemini and Starpoint Gemini 2.

Little Green Men Games

• Mario Mihoković - CEO - Sound designer, Story writer
  
• Danijel Mihoković - Chief game designer, Lead scripter
  
• Tomislav Mihoković - Lead 3D artist, Graphics designer, 3D Modeler
  
• Oliver the Sleepless - Lead programmer, Whale 2 engine creator
  
• Zeno Žokalj - Community Manager & PR (also earned "the Sleepless" title)
  
• Hrvoje (Kele) - Programmer, in charge of Oculus Rift VR support
  
• Mihajlo (Valdyr) - Shaders and Visual Effects master
  
• Antonio (Karlito) - Programmer, in charge of Xbox One port
  
• Goran - Lead 2D artist
  
• Matija - 3D Modeler

We also have Josip (Oluja) and Matej (Maximus) - Scripters, in charge of Starpoint Gemini 2: Origins port, they are students so they are not official employees but they are fantastic guys and I hope they will join us one day. :)

Since there are not many of us, it's sometimes hard to cover everything (GoG support, Steam support, Xbox One support, forum support, interaction with players, wishlist and suggestions, press, game promotion, development, social networks), but we are doing our best. My role in LGM is to cover community and press support and also to talk to you guys about your ideas, issues, suggestions and everything good and bad you have to say about the game. I'm literally living on GoG, Steam Xbox and official forums. Ok, I do go offline to take a shower. Sometimes. During vacation time... :)

I'm also here to answer any of the questions you might have for us. We believe that talking to our players is one of the highest priorities and that in the end, game gets better because of your suggestions and ideas (that's how it was during Early Access). Of course, we cannot implement all of those ideas, especially when we get the "trash everything, start from scratch" suggestion, but we are trying to constantly improve it and that is the main reason our team is slowly growing. This game was made by gamers for gamers.

It's important to mention that we have a very powerful creature among us, in charge of programming, known only as Oliver the Sleepless. And we have three brothers that started it all with the first game - Mario, Tomislav and Danijel who arrived from a planet called Meep and avoided another Roswell incident. They are the original little green men. Seriously. :)

Some of our plans for the future are:
1. Releasing DLC for SPG2 (done)
2. Continue working on free content updates for the game (done)
3. Make a full original SPG port to SPG 2 free DLC (done)
4. Make a Titans DLC as promised (November 2015)
5. Make SPG2 Expansion (we'll make Warlords instead of expansion)
6. Work on mod tools and make them better. (in Warlords)
7. Time will tell, maybe next project like Hello Kitty in space, lol! :)

Hello Kitty in space. . .my mom would love that one, hell, she'd pay big money for it :p. Also, can't believe I over estimated how many of you there were, now I have to add an errata video lol.

[sfcwoc]

Nicely done, and thanks for the heads-up, Z! Nice to put faces on the LGM crew. Well...except for Oliver. :) Would be cool to connect up the story line from SPG to SPG2. 'Hello Kitty in Space' ? My daughters would giggle... ;)

[Zenoslaf]

Hehehe. :)

Ryo, no need, there are sometimes students that help with beta testing, some outsourcing guys, but the core team of employees is 9. You don't need to change anything. :)

Sarge, Danijel stated that he will do that at some point when he finds some time. Full conversion. That will be time consuming so he's focused on DLC currently. We all are. But that is on Danijel's wishlist for a long time now. :)

Damn, we're late!!!!

Ah, well then, back to doing Love is in the Air in WoW then, need to get all the things while I wait for something new to test or fix, or something

[Zenoslaf]

You still didn't finish all seasonal quests? My girlfriend did.

I didn't. :)

[Brat Corrections Officer]

Hey, I'm modding, making tutorials and hosting a friend from out of state, so I still have a few things left undone :p. And now I find I'm two days late to a new betatest patch! Hell who am I kidding, I love doing all this, so yeah, still finishing seasonal stuff lol.

Awesome. It's nice to see developers who take the time to talk to their userbase, even if they're really busy with other things as well.

Thank you for your hard work in supporting Starpoint Gemini 2.

[Pythagoras]

Thanks, it is really nice to hear this again. Reminds me of how lucky I was the day I bought the game and stayed with it.

Agreed. Even when I'm not playing, I regulary visit the forums because I like it here.

[Zenoslaf]

Nice to hear that. :)

[Tanvaras]

Now I am demanding a "SPG Meets Hello Kitty in Space" DLC.

Oh and that comment about taking a shower, come on fess up, we know thats a lie...."You aint got time for a shower!!!!!"

Keep up the great work LGM Team, Always a pleasure being on SPG2 forums and chatting with the community (Best Steam community imo!)

What's the deal with Oliver ?

[Zenoslaf]

Oliver is the main programmer, usually deep down in his room / cave searching for bugs, coding new stuff, he's the guru. And since he's doing that all day (and night), he got nickname The Sleepless. I really don't understand where is his power coming from. But we think it's linked to some dark magic. John Constantine would know better. :)

And due to being in a dark room constantly, we do now allow him to go in the public anymore.
I think this is his ID picture, back in the days when he still looked normal:

i got 500 or so hours in game so far, and this game got me all obsessed with space sims again, so i've been busy trying to figure out X3, while counting down the days to DLC/new content.
can't wait!! <3
