Yo everybody. My name is Harley, but everyone online calls me Bryce. There's a very good chance you might know me from IRC as TehFluffeh, or Bilbo Baggins in Underlight. I'm a long-time Underlight veteran, having started over six years ago when Underlight was still on Mplague.

 

It's hard to define just what I do at Lyra, because it ranges. At heart I'm a programmer of various languages. Everything from C and C++ to Perl and PHP. Some of my code lives in everything Lyra. From Underlight to Reclamation, to this very webpage.

 

Lately I've been re-writing the billing system from Underlight to work with Reclamation and it's myriad of new features. None of which I can mention, sorry! Let's just say that they're awesome, and will help to bring a whole new level of interesting gameplay to the world of Reclamation that was never seen in it's predecessor.

 

When I'm not working on that, I'm working on the reclamationgame.com webpage. Working under Kathi, I'm responsible for the day-to-day administration of the webpage as you see it now, freeing Kathi to code up a storm on the parts of the site that'll some day blow everyone's socks off.

 

Reclamation is an awesome product. I know I'm psyched about it. There's some real creative and innovative improvements over Underlight, and Underlight kept me hooked for years! I guess I better cancel all my subscriptions in preperation, 'eh?
