Hercules: Greetings. The community hasn't heard much of you lately, but still you've released Chrono Wars 11 and 12. Are you still planning to make more ZZT games (possibly continue the Chrono Wars series)? Chronos: Yes. Chrono Wars is all I really want to make with ZZT. I would also appreciate a little help with the ZZT Encyclopedia. In fact, that's something I'd like to pass on to a worthy successor.
Chronos: Yes. I remember wanting a long series since episode 1. Hercules: If I am correct, I thought the Chrono Wars series ended with chapter 10. Why did you pick up work on the series again? Chronos: Because I hated the open-ended ending of ten. A happy ending on a desolate Earth? Also, I think the ZZT community needed a little jolt, if you know what I mean. Hercules: Duky Inc died in September of this year. You have been in it for a long time. Before you were in Duky Inc, you've been a member of Oracle Entertainment. How did you get to join Oracle Entertainment? Do you still remember who the members of it were? Chronos: The first company I ever joined was Zed Omega Productions, and I seriously don't remember how. I think someone noticed CW1-5 on the AOL libraries and invited me in. That was near the end of the era of active AOL-based ZZT companies. After that, ZOP merged with some other company to make Oracle Entertainment, and soon after, AOL decided to stop accepting ZZT uploads. Since then, ZZT has nearly ceased to be on AOL. I didn't have any communication with Oracle, and I sort of quit without telling. I was relieved to hear ZZT was still alive on the internet outside AOL, and I started using IRC. On IRC, I got connected with Duky and Luke Drelick, and stayed in communication with him for quite a while. After I released Chrono Wars 10, I fell into my own life in the real world, including school, church, etc. Duky became just sort of a name I slapped on all my games, but I never really associated with them much after CW10. I cannot recall the names of any members of the above mentioned companies, and I can barely remember those of Duky. Hercules: What was the reason you left Oracle Entertainment and joined Duky Inclater? Chronos: Like I said, Oracle fell into a kind of chaos after the fall of ZZT on AOL. They never really held me accountable anymore, so I met Luke on IRC and it went on from there.
Hercules: My last question: what can we expect from you in the future? Chronos: I Hercules: Thanks for your time. See you around. Chronos: <bitch mode>You'd better thank me for my time! I could've taken a shower, practiced trombone for all-state, or written an entry in my humanities journal in that time!</bitch mode> Anytime!
