Sony Online Entertainment is full of many diverse employees. Our company isn’t just made up of the folks you meet on the forums or see at Fan Faire. We have a Finance Department, a Human Resources department, Legal, Office Operations, Administrative Assistants, people from all walks of life!
The Community team would like to introduce you to those people in a monthly feature titled, “SOE Employee Spotlight.” This month you will meet Luke Bultman from our Tucson Studio. Take a moment to find out about what a typical day in the office is like for him, what his favorite SOE game is, and other fun tidbits. As a special bonus, we learned where his favorite location in-game is and created wallpaper for you to download!
What is your real name or an alias you’d rather use?
Luke Bultman

What is your official title/position?
Associate Producer
How long have you been working at SOE?
Since Octopi was acquired by SOE in Jan 2009.
Tell us what a typical workday is like for you.
A typical work day for me consists of some meetings, answering questions, helping people resolve issues they are having with other teams within SOE, working with our contract artists on upcoming projects, working with the legal department on upcoming contractual work, Project Planning, office duties and on occasion getting to play some games with the players.
What is your favorite SOE game title?
What I’ve played of Free Realms I really enjoy, but I’m more a casual gamer – so I really enjoy SOE Tucson’s newest Facebook game – The Agency Covert Ops, and of course PoxNora!
Inside that title, what is your favorite location?
I really enjoyed the go cart racing in Free Realms
The Escape game in The Agency: Covert Ops
Latest single Player campaign in PoxNora – The Malajaran Frontier
What is your favorite thing about that game?
I absolutely love PoxNora’s artwork.* I’m an avid photographer and have a background in graphic design, so I’m partial to the art of PoxNora.
If you could be any fictional character, whom would you be?
Luke Skywalker, Yoda, or Gandolf
What was the last book you read?
Highly Effective People
How did you get into the industry?
One of my buddies was working at Octopi and was able to get me an interview – I just happened to fit what Dan Kopycienski was looking for at the time; the rest is history.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I would have to say Flying.* I used to dream about this when I was a kid.
Outside of work, what do you like to do?
Spend lots of time with my family, cycle and photography.
Enjoy this never before seen wallpaper from Free Realms: Cart Racing and PoxNora: Maljara Island, Luke’s Favorite Location!
