DemonKing Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 OK - so we know there must be an Aliens RPG and Alpha Protocol team - are there any others working on unannounced projects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think Fergie has stated that the goal is to have 3 projects spinning at any one time. Some have speculated that a second NWN2 xpac is the third project at this time. but it's possible that there isn't a third project. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Zoma Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think its 2 and a half project. But Pop's assumption could be right, in that there may not be a third project at the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humodour Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think they have 3 teams but 2 projects. The third team works variously on the two projects at various times, or is responsible for x-packs and content updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The two-and-a-half guess is correct; Fergie envisioned two projects going full steam, and one project in pre-conceptual stages that doesn't require as many people. As one of the full steam project finishes, the project-in-waiting would go vroom vroom. I find it likely that Aliens and NWN2 Xpack are the two main projects at this time, and Alpha Protocol in its early stages, though perhaps it's the other way round. But then we'd be waiting quite a while for the Xpack, won't we? And I don't really see that happening. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Except that Alpha Protocol is starting to get hype now. And it's been reported to be scheduled for an early 2009 release. Add to that the fact that Project Georgia has been known about for some time (what a year? Year and a half?). So it's quite likely that Alpha Protocol and Aliens are fully staffed. Hell, Alpha Protocol could even be the next release from OE. (unless there is a third team working on a NWN2 expansion of course. What project is Montgomery Markland assigned to anyway?)

Humodour Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 They've clearly stated before that a full team isn't always working on a game, and that variously the teams lose and gain members of the development cycle. With that in mind I think it makes it possible for a NWN2 xpack, Aliens and AP to all be in advanced stages of production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I thought Georgia died? Or was that New Jersey? Or was one of them Aliens? Gah. I suppose the Xpack may not be as big or long a project.

Leferd Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I would guess by the xenomorph hugging his avatar's ummm...face, that it would be Aliens.

AnthonyD Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I think this was already stated, Obsidian Entertainment has 3 teams. Two are full sized development teams, one is a smaller team used for getting projects going or supporting an existing project. As I understand it, we are currently at the size the owners want the company to be at. The team members are NOT fixed, they float from team to team depending on what is needed and what an individual person wants to work on. The owners and leads are very accommodating within real world limits. For example, I worked on NX1, Alpha Protocol, and am now on Aliens. Josh contributed design work to Alpha Protocol, but he is also the Lead Designer on Aliens. Chris Avellone works on everything. Justin Cherry works on everything. Those are just some examples. The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false.--Paul Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwars Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Do the teams have different colors, and are there ever gangwars in the Obsidian offices? Which team would win, Aliens or Alpha Protocol? Or the NWN2 XP2 team?!?! (yes!!!!)
