Zanzarino when did you come up with this game?
April 2009, while preparing a final project for "Interactive Media Design"
How did you come up with the idea?
I was reading the development blog of Aion online (a MMORPG).

I was quite impressed with the graphics but very disappointed to see another unimaginative "priest, archer, warrior, mage" game; I wished game designers had more originality and came out with a more diverse set of characters. I thought about the 4 classical elements: "What if they would rewrite that philosophical theory about the elements adding some modern knowledge to it?". That day I wrote down on a notebook a diagram with the 12 elements.
What is your fave element? why?
I try my best not to have one. But I think entropy is more fun to play.
Will you come out with more games?
I had an idea for a game before I wrote Elements, maybe one day I'll do it, not right now, I do not have enough time.
In that game you play the part of yourself. An alien AI crashed on a "far away" planet and the alien that controlled it died in the crash. Your goal is to help the AI to build a new civilization based on drones. Drones can be built using genes (pieces of DNA) that you can find on the planet, each drone you build have a different set of skills, some of them gather resources, some of them fight, others can turn themselves into new buildings... etc.
Are you and SG in a romance?
Yes, we are getting married soon.
When will the next update be?
I have no idea, but Godaddy does, you can send them an email and ask.
Which element in your opinion is the strongest?
You do not want to me to think too much about this question, it might start a "nerf" rampage
Which element needs the most buff?
Air/Water and Light might need - and are getting - a little buff
Will you ever make elements an RPG?
I'd like to, but an RPG requires a team to work with.
What is your opinion about WoE?
War of Emperium? ... nvm ... Adding a map to element and creating a "World of Element" is something I wanted to do for a long time, it just takes some time to do it right.
Can u please make ai5 have 30% upgraded?
Maybe, one day.
