Cobalt Arachne (Developer)
Overview
Cobalt Arachne is a content developer on the Homecoming Team. He is also known as Nayreia, author of Fragmentary Veritas, a City of Heroers webcomic.
Background
I've played City of Heroes since I was a kid, and it played a crucial role in helping me make it through my childhood; Its absence left a hole during the years after the game's sunset before Homecoming's launch. This game's influence on my growth as an individual and creative thinker was crucial and defined much of who I am as a creator today.[1]
Other than City of Heroes, webcomics, and creative writing; I am a big Nintendo / JRPG fan, lover of video game music, and watch a fair amount of anime.
My favorite game of all time, CoH aside, is Mega Man 2 and I pride myself at having a 'pretty okay' time in the no-zip speed run category! Some other games I love include, in no particular order: Mother 3, Banjo-Kazooie, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Mario Land 2, Bomberman 64, Wario's Woods, Sonic Adventure 2.[2]
My previous experience working on video games is mostly comprised of unofficial mod work… Extensive map editor work for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, texture work for Unreal Tournament 2004, and scripting mods for Starbound.
