On January 3rd, 2022, AnimalBot99 had the chance to interview Riddoff! Hope you enjoy reading!
Riddoff: Well, my passion is design. I can say, I love it. I do all kinds of design, 2d, 3d etc.
Animal: I know that you have commissioned me a few times to help with music for games, are there any specific genres you like to work with?
Riddoff: Yeah, I love detective games.
Animal: Any upcoming plans for any games?
Riddoff: Well, yeah. Right now I work with my friend on a big rpg project, and another hide and seek game. I think the idea of them is big and creative. I can say it has potential so we have a chance to get in one of the “most popular” ones.
Animal: Do you usually just do the UI/GFX side of stuff or do you try to learn building or coding as well?
Riddoff: Hmm, not only GFX is my main Developer Role, another one nonetheless important is building and 3d modeling. Right now I'm learning more about coding, and coding ui design itself.
Animal: As a project manager do you think it's important to know a bit of each aspect of the creative process, even if you don’t excel in it?
Riddoff: Well, for me it is important I can say, I try to get in absolutely every aspect of development. In case if something goes wrong, or one of my devs need help, we can try solving this problem together. It’s giving us more work communication and more resultative work.
Animal: Do you enjoy being the lead in projects or do you wish you could step back?
RIddoff: Well, it is hard, I can say but, it's pretty attractive too. That’s being pretty interesting in its own way. And not only me creating new ideas of games etc. The whole team works on creating something new and unique.
Animal: So how much experience do you have when it comes to leading a creative team, how long have you been doing it for?
Riddoff: More than 2 years or so. Well sometimes my experience was pretty painful, people were betraying me, but I was standing up again, and again, and was continuing work I was doing before. That's the process of becoming more experienced.
Animal: So what you have learned through it whether it be through the good experiences or bad?
Riddoff: I can say, I learned to believe only in yourself. People who you depend on can just in the end leave you without anything, if you are starting working with anyone that should be, well, a very trusted person. Life is ridiculous, because sometimes you want to give up, to leave everything you were working on, but there always is someone who gives you hope that everything is possible and you can pass all severities. If you are starting a project with anyone that means you share your ideas, your feelings with your partner, and that means you should be confident about each other. That’s it.
Animal: That is nicely said I can see the two years of experience talking. Where do you hope to go in 2022 with development?
Riddoff: Well, I went through a lot on my way. Something was going not the best way, something was good, that's life. I was working with ROLVe, RetroShrimp, etc. It was an amazing experience for me, and I'm happy to bring new arts to this community, to work on new games and make people around me happier. That’s real enjoyment for me.
Animal: Want to talk a bit about the development groups and any upcoming/latest projects?
Riddoff: Yeah sure. Right now me and my Partner Nilxony are working on rpg game and hide and seek game, well i can’t say anything much yet, but progress will be shown soon for you all to see.
Animal: While I have you on record here, what do you think of my musical contributions so far?
Riddoff: So far, that was a pleasure working with you. Very fast and hardworking person you are, those are amazing qualities.
Animal: Happy to be of service! So, how about some random questions. What is your favorite Roblox Studio update/upgrade that you can remember?
RIddoff: Well, I can say mesh deformation and lighting/materials Roblox improval.
Animal: Do you have any favorite Roblox games that you have not contributed to?
Riddoff: Yeah, the Disaster Survival game by Stickmasterluke is one, for example. And… hmm, TPS: Ultimate Soccer, as an outrageous football lover I’m just crazy with this game, haha. :D
Animal: What’s your favorite music genre?
Riddoff: Hmm, Classic, Techno and, yeh that's all.
Animal: Any advice for any UI designers out there?
Riddoff: Yeah, always improve, always draw, always watch other designers' works to see them and improve your own. Watch more tutorials, do not stop learning.
Animal: Well Riddoff it was a real pleasure talking with you. Good luck with UI and good luck with the upcoming games!
Riddoff: Thanks, good luck!:)
