Dave Haddock is the Narrative Director of Star Citizen and Squadron 42 at CIG Los Angeles.[1] He was one of the founding members of CIG in 2012. He helped work out the history for the game universe which made its way into the Time Capsules.[2]
Trivia
- Star Citizen is his first game project as a writer. When he first moved to LA I got a job as a QA Localization Tester at
Activision where he worked on Call of Duty: United Offensive, True Crime, and the Doom 3 expansion. Since it was a night-shift job, he was able to start interning during the day for Ascendant Pictures, the company founded by Chris Roberts in 2002.[2][3]
- Since the universe of Star Citizen took elements from Ancient Rome, he reread old textbooks about that period as well as talks about the classics ( Star Wars, Star Trek, Ringworld, Foundation, etc.) He has always been a fan of Joss Whedon so he rewatched Firefly which hardly counts as 'work'.[2]
- With Cassandra's Tears, he went to the Mystery and Imagination Bookshop in Glendale and picked up old copies of the Sci-Fi/Fantasy anthology magazines to try and capture that style used in the 1950's Flash Gordon-esque type of story. While Kid Crimson was naturally more of a Dashiell Hammett flavor.[2]
- He drew the most inspiration from music. When he started writing something, he'll try to collate any songs that put his head in that world or capture a scene or emotion. Therefore, his Star Citizen playlist is a variety of songs from all sorts of genres, from John Murphy's score for Sunshine to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' Social Network score to Massive Attack to a Sharon Van Etten song. Anything that sparks the brain to the material.[2]
- He grew up as a gamer but his family always seemed to have the 'other systems'. They didn't have Atari but the Intellivision. They didn't have a Commodore 64 but Epson Equity II PC. So until PC really caught on, they never really had the popular games in the house. He kept playing games through high school but fell off a bit after college as he was broke and couldn't afford the systems.[2]
- Around 2010, he started playing games again but have slowed down. Recently, He has been watching his roommate work his way through Skyrim which has been fun. He played through Mass Effect 2 in 2012, so he jumped on that bandwagon relatively late.[2]
