Then and Now
Age of Conflict was first formed November of 2003 by Jintek - a member of the Red vs. Blue contingent playing on Kings of Chaos. After a disappointing series of events on KoC showed the depth of the game's many administrative problems and the lack of sound game concepts, several sought a solution in the form of setting up a turn-based, free, strategy game of their own. Thus, Age of Conflict was founded and the game, Strife, became its launch product.
Based on the open-source Promisance engine still available today on Sourceforge, Jintek and Kull (two coworkers), began the enhancement of the original engine to develop a distinct feel and sense of enjoyment that is Strife.
Today, Strife only loosely resembles the version of Promisance from which it came thanks to the dedication and contributions of AoC's many players, moderators, and developers.
The Staff
Jintek (Jeff Crosby) - A recent graduate of Software Engineering at Auburn University and husband to a wonderful woman, Jeff has been building sites since 1998, and has rapidly grown an affinity for designing and developing games online. Over the past few years, PHP and mySQL have become his passion in the development of several RPGs of various genres and styles such as Vagrant Space and Strife. He also enjoys creating online graphical layouts for sites - though he would consider himself only average in that area. On AoC, Jeff serves as the lead developer and graphics artist for the game, and is currently working steadily on Strife 2. website
Kull (Jason Kull) - A systems technician by trade, he originally went to college with a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science. While he now specializes more with hardware and networking, he does have a firm grasp of programming logic and programming languages. Strife is a chance to learn php and mySQL, two things that drive many internet websites. While he does write some code, mostly he fixes minor bugs and helps to administer the game and forums. website
