Lovely Lyza

April 20th, 2012 by Amy | 8 Comments | Filed in Stuff, websites

Meet Lyza…

She has one of the world’s coolest jobs… she’s a games producer at Space Heroes Universe! Awesome!

We sat down for a chat with the Lovely Lyza to learn more…

What does a Games Producer do?
My job is to brainstorm and create cool game ideas for Space Heroes Universe. I  work very closely with the artists to ensure we produce the best looking games out there! The most important bit of my job is to make sure we  release all of the cool items on time so that our players always have exciting things to play!

Did you study at university?
I studied Design Computing at Sydney University which was a really fun course.

What is the best part of your job?
Everything about my job is really fun and exciting! If I had to choose however, the best part of my job is being one of the first people to play the games that our  team makes!

Tell us about Space Heroes Universe.
It’s a FREE online game for kids where you can create your own hero and explore a universe that’s full of fun and adventure! You can complete quests, play mini-games, purchase items and best of all, make friends and play with other heroes from all over the world! Plus it’s super-safe so mum and dad will be really happy!

What’s your favourite part of the game?
That’s a hard question! Everything in Space Heroes Universe is fun and exciting :-D I do really enjoy playing all of the mini-games in the Virtual World, then using the coins to buy items like clothes, hair styles, pet Kritterz and even stuff for my Homepad!

Who is your favourite character in Space Heroes Universe?
Anna Vexla! She’s sugar and spice and all things nice but what she wants is what she gets!

How long did it take to create Space Heroes Universe?
Around 18 months! It took a lot of role-playing and thinking to come up with the fantastic ideas that you now see in the game!

Do you have any advice for GP readers who want to become game producers one day?
Firstly, you have to love video games! Being a Producer requires having extensive knowledge and skills on a variety of areas – time management, logic and creativity. My best advice is to study hard but also watch plenty of movies, read a lot of books, but most importantly, play heaps of computer & video games to fuel your imagination!

Do you have any secret Space Heroes Universe tips to share?
There are plenty of areas to explore in Little Space Heroes and heaps of secret actions to find with your Bubble Blaster. This is my favourite one – Fly your Starjet in space and try to find that special spot near the asteroids for that secret surprise!

You can meet Lyza in Space Heroes Universe! Her hero’s name is Ehylyna. Click here to play Space Heroes Universe right now…
