Freeplay


I managed to get a hold of FreePlay, a psp homebrew developer. One of his most noted accomplishments is his port for File Assistant into TIFF format. He was willing to let me interview him. This is what I got:

 

Antonyfl : Tell me a bit about yourself.

FreePlay  : I'm a 23-year-old college student in Michigan, studying technical writing... I've been programming since I was eight years old, and I've mostly taught myself. I bought my first PSP last July and immediately jumped into the homebrew scene.


Antonyfl : What do you do in your past time besides making homebrew?

FreePlay : I play a lot of video games, go to class, work in a grocery store. Occasionally I go out with friends. I'm currently a pretty busy guy, so not much free time :/


Antonyfl : Are you currently/thinking about working on some homebrew projects?

FreePlay : I'm semi-working on a port of a program I wrote for the TI-89, which was a port of a game called Bubblet. if you've ever played the SameGame, it's pretty much the same thing. I played the original game on my Palm V over 3000 times, so I think it might be a hit :)


Antonyfl : Are you going to be working on any other projects that don't involve TIFF games?

FreePlay : Maybe :) . I've got a couple unreleased things that I might release... eventually... Right now I'm just waiting to get my bricked PSP back with its shiny new mod chip. A while back, Adrahil and I worked together on a module for Devhook that spat out the savedata encryption key for any game that tried to load a savegame. if we ever decide to release it, it could lead to a much easier way to mess around with savegames.


Antonyfl : What is it like working with the other developers like Fanjita, Ditlew, Skylark etc?

FreePlay : I actually don't work with them much, though I'd like to, infact I've never even spoken to Ditlew as far as I can remember. Skylark is a great guy to work with. He's really quick at reverse engineering and writing up little utilities in C. I thought I was good, but his skills put me to shame :)


Antonyfl : In your busy schedule, how much time are you willing to put into homebrew making?

FreePlay  : Approximately Whenever I Feel Like It hours per week. I haven't actually done any actual developing in a week or so. Homebrew making isn't my top priority.


Antonyfl : How long do you expect to work on the psp homebrew scene?

FreePlay : Well, I'm anxious to see what we can do with 3.00. It all depends on how much interest there is in the community, too. I'm willing to stick with it until the end, but I have no idea when that'll come.


Antonyfl : Lastly can you give us any hints or teasers on what noobz.eu is developing?

FreePlay : I'm sort of out of the loop on that stuff. I'm not *officially* part of the Noobz team, I just hang out here a lot and goof off on IRC :P


Antonyfl :Thank you for taking time off of your busy schedule to let me interview you. I hope that your future developments will all be a success.

FreePlay : Thanks :)


Well thats all I have for now. Stay tuned for more future updates!

lol nice interview /sarcasm. freeplay is a wanna-be know it all. a loud mouth whose accusations and theories have been proven wrong more times than he has been right. he's no programmer. just another nobody wanna-be internet nerd who lacks social skills and posts on message boards to seem important or liked. pfft. f*** him.
