“I had a gut feeling that player housing could be a killer feature,” Spangler said. Spangler was determined to get the rumored housing system working, especially since, from a programming perspective, houses wouldn’t be much different than the boats and ships that the design team had already implemented successfully. The feature for player-owned housing had been cut from the schedule weeks before, but Spangler had been working on it in his free time. “The ship on my screen was on land and had a door and a sign on it,” Spangler laughed.
