[LadyGamers]: First off, can you talk about your
responsibilities along with an outline stating who else helped in creating the GI. Joe mod?
[Hawkeye]: I'm the mod leader. Which basically means that I do a little of
everything. Skinning, modeling, coding. Pretty much anything that needs
doing I do. We also have Syko who is our map maker. He's the guy that's made
some of the great looking maps. There's G.I. Jackdanales, he's our lead
skinner and our sound guy. Cyr|c who is a modeler for us. We also have
Netwon who is doing modeling for us. Punkbitch is a modeler and he's a
coder. ArtistsX is one of our skinners. There’s also UnwanTed and Big Jim
who are brothers and they are molders and skinners for our team. The there
is R3DOX who is another one of our modelers. We have a great bunch of
people
helping out and they all deserve kudos.
[LadyGamers]: Back in the late 60's the first ever female
figurine for G.I. Joe was the GI Nurse, an Action Girl that was rejected by
the fans. Another female figurine was not attempted for another fifteen years. Do you feel it was useful to have female characters in the G.I. Joe series?
[Hawkeye]: Very. If you look at the cartoon series you'll see that all the Joe and
Cobra women are very much equals to the males and they bring a wide range
of
skills to the teams on both sides. We hope to capture this as well.
[LadyGamers]: After we released our Mod Guide here at LadyGamers, we had a few people email us asking if you had rights to the G.I. Joe trademark. Is this something that concerns you -or- are you going to work on this mod while you can?
[Hawkeye]: Well I've read over the terms of use of the GI Joe material. But what I
can gather we are allowed to use the GI Joe brand as long as it's not a
commercial product. So as long as we don't try to sell it I think we will
be
ok. This of course is all up to the right holders of GI Joe.
[LadyGamers]: Since you are a total conversion, do you plan
on having any female models for characters like Lady Jay, Scarlet or any others in any future updates for the mod?
[Hawkeye]:
They are something we very much would like to have in our mod. Some of
the ones that we would like to have is Lady Jay, Scarlet, The Baroness,
and
Jinx but there are so many in GI Joe and Cobra. For now we are doing a
standard GI Joe grunt skin and a standard Cobra trooper skin but we
eventually want to have new models and skins for each map and we will be
including the females on some the maps.
[LadyGamers]: There was a G.I. Joe video made by Death103 that features clips from your mod. That was a creative idea! Do you plan on making an
official video once more changes have been made for the mod?
[Hawkeye]: Yes we do. We are very had at work trying to get an update done. Newton
and I have not been feeling well and other problems have been setting us
back some. (Like my hard drive crashing on me.) We should be back on
schedule shortly.
