We've come to the final interview in the series of the RLTC team. Serellan is known for his hard work on the release of the widely used NATO weapons mod.

ViX) Thanks for doing this interview. With the mod down to the wire I am sure you are extremely busy right now. Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Serellan) Well, I'm a 25 year old former Marine who likes to make mods. Currently I'm a student aspiring to work in the computer game industry. I've been involved with RS modding since late '99, and I've released over 20 of my own mods, as well as working on projects with John Sonedecker, Cynical Saint, and ARMM.

ViX) How did you first get into making mods?

Serellan) I started back in 1999, when Rogue Spear came out, there were mods I wanted that no one was doing. So I sat down and started making them.

ViX) What is your current project for RLTC? I understand you will be doing the single player aspects of the game.

Serellan) That is about right. I am doing the single player campaign scripting and some other odds and ends.

ViX) What have you already accomplished for RLTC?

Serellan) I've completed a 5 mission campaign with varying mission objectives, some pretty in depth. I've also done some hostage skinning and am working on the voiceovers for the briefings, along with my wife.

ViX) What would you say we will see with the RLTC that is totally unique?

Serellan) Well, I have seen just about every mod that has come out for the RS series (and made quite a few of them), and this TC really blew me away. I think the scope of this mod is what really makes it unique, with such a radically change from the original.

ViX) Will there be anything new single player wise that we haven't seen before in the RS series?

Serellan) While the missions are all objective driven, just like in RS (Hostage Rescue, Assault, Planting Explosives, etc), the depth of changes really change the way you approach the missions. Because of changes in weapons, there are far less, but more skilled "tangos" to deal with.

ViX) What types of gameplay will we see?

Serellan) In the single player side, the campaign will consist of 5 successive missions, all using the brand new maps. Included are Hostage Rescue, Assasination, Assault, and Sabotage missions are included. There are also a slew of Terrorist Hunt missions for some quick fun.

ViX) What advice would you give to people wanted to make their own mod?

Serellan) Study up. There are hundereds of rescourses out there, including tutorials and forums (a good place to start is mine http://pub76.ezboard.com/fpiestacticsserrellansmodforum :). Also, when you are looking for a project to do, think of what YOU want to play, and pay attention to details. This is how good mods are made.

ViX) Would you like to add anything?

Serellan) I wanted to say thanks to Gravedigga for inviting me to contribute to this great project!

Interview w/GD @ R6C

That's a wrap. I would like to thank each member of the team for taking time out of modding the Renegade Legion to do these interviews. The Renegade Legion is going to kick ass, and as Cocobolo said, we will see people making spin off mods. RLTC is going to take over RS!!!!!!! hehe
