Wow, this thread was fucking beyond epic!!!

Funnily enough, sawyer and obsidian were still happy enough to work on the successor to the IE engine, the aurora engine.

Andhaira, please stop it.

Andhaira again, why am I not surprised...

I was into this necromacy thing for a while, too, but I did it with useless threads for teh lulz.

Where's Hannibal Traven when you need him...

Personally, I had to accept that a game I worked on for two and a half years, that I put more creative energy into than anything else in my life, was indefinitely shelved. And I had to accept the responsibility of taking over the lead design position on Van Buren after Chris Avellone, who has far more respect among developers and fans, left the company. It's hard, but obviously, if I didn't think the trade-off was worth it, I wouldn't still be around.

I'm not a great designer, but I try, and this is what I've wanted to work on since 1999.

Wow. I hope he finally gets to make games he himself would like.

He was talking about torn right, which got shelved?Or did he mean jefferson?

And anyway, going by how badly lionheart was, its probably good torn never got released.

Lionheart wasn't developed by Black Isle though.

He is a lead designer of Aliens RPG now. With his insights on game mechanics we have good chances to see an Action/RPG that doesn't suck. Go Josh!

 

[Andhaira]

Well, he does love his real time combat.
