The Patrick FAQ

I get a surprising number of questions, both through PMs, emails, and in person so I thought it would be helpful to make a FAQ of the most common ones.

Q: What do you do at Helical Games?

A: A lot of stuff. In terms of production, I am the writer of DIVERSE and I direct the development for the project, and help with modeling and animation. I program and manage the site and other various online systems and nonsense, and handle a portion of the marketing and social media.

Q: When is the {insert thing we do} coming out?

A: Helical Games releases things when they get done. You wouldn't want an unfinished or rushed product now would you?

Q: My friends and I are making a video game. Can you give us some advice?

A: My main piece of advice is to just do it, don't doubt yourself. And keep in mind that just because it looks like an existing game, it doesn't mean it is unoriginal, but it also doesn't mean you should just copycat. Also, I would recommend making a few drafts of your design document before going into development. Good luck.

A few facts about me:.

Q: Do you have a full-time job?

A: I do AutoCAD work by day. But Helical Games is pretty much my second full-time job.

Q: This FAQ did not answer my question.

A: Then go ahead and ask.

I can cook and bake with the best of them.

I love to draw, though I haven't in forever.

I have the damnedest time trying to grow a beard.

I also like peanut butter and pickle sandwiches...sounds weird and gross I know.

I am quite possibly the easiest person to find on the Internet....my Xbox Live Gamertag is Crims0nStrife, steam id is mstrrobe, so it's a bit harder, theres my twitter Rambology101 , my tumblr Crimsonstrife , I'm on Facebook, Google+ , my primary email is Rambology101@gmail.com , theres my DeviantArt =CrimsonStrife , and my blogspot KeepCalmandGameOn . So if you can't find me its your own fault.

And oh look, I am on the new Myspace https://new.myspace.com/patrickbarnhardt5346
