Paradox
Welcome to my corner of the wiki. I've been active on Dune on/off since around 2002, and a coder/wizard since ~2003. I've recently returned from a brief (8 year?) hiatus and have thrown myself into the thick of things helping keep this old boat out at sea.
These days when I'm not fixing bugs I tend to only work on backend/engine code and misc. server administration. New game content and balance decisions are not my cup of tea.
Current areas of work
Here are some things I have planned for the short term. These aren't listed by order of priority and I work on them as I feel the urge! Completed work is listed on a separate page
