June 6, 201114 yr How did Turtle Rock manage to free itself from Valve? And where does it say they work on an RPG? They just... went private again. Weird Story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_Rock_Studios I'm not quite sure where I got the RPG thing but they have been hiring an awful lot of people that have experience in them.

June 8, 201114 yr OT: LA Times' Ben Fritz My first random meet-and-chat on the #E3 floor: Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart
June 8, 201114 yr Why is Ferg at the E3 if he doesn't exhibit a new game? Rain makes everything better.
June 8, 201114 yr Why is Ferg at the E3 if he doesn't exhibit a new game? How do we know that they don't? Its not like as if the E3 is over.
June 8, 201114 yr Shouldn't there be some announcement for a new Obsidian game or am I horrible wrong now? "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
June 8, 201114 yr Shouldn't there be some announcement for a new Obsidian game or am I horrible wrong now? Yep, the project with the "big IP".
June 8, 201114 yr Why is Ferg at the E3 if he doesn't exhibit a new game? How do we know that they don't? Its not like as if the E3 is over. If they haven't showed it yesterday already, they won't show it today or tomorrow either. Unless it's some "behind closed doors" only invitation thing. Rain makes everything better.
June 8, 201114 yr Shouldn't there be some announcement for a new Obsidian game or am I horrible wrong now? Well, no. Feargus said he hoped he would be able to say more at E3, he never said he will show something at E3.
June 8, 201114 yr Author Chris Avellone at E3 too? Literally could not escape E3 hotel last night - there was no exit. No. Exit.
June 8, 201114 yr It's nice to know they have Twitter in hell. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
June 8, 201114 yr They're probably just pimping DSIII. Or maybe they're hunting down new publisher contracts. Rain makes everything better.
June 8, 201114 yr It's nice to know they have Twitter in hell. Hell is Twitter, but the devil chooses who you follow... Edited June 8, 201114 yr by Purkake
June 12, 201114 yr OEI art intern Bree Maldonado's LI profile updated Art Intern (UI, 3D)Obsidian Entertainment January 2011
June 13, 201114 yr So no news.... I wonder if Obs will have another different publisher. They've had Atari, Bethesda, LA, Sega and Square so far. Who's next? Ubi? EA partners? Take2? Acti? Valve would be nice..... Edited June 13, 201114 yr by Bos_hybrid
June 17, 201114 yr (Ex-?)Obsidian UI artist Jason Sereno's LI profile updated Recently I was working on user-interface art and animation for "Dungeon Siege III" at Obsidian Entertainment, which was released by Square-Enix in June 2011. Currently I am living in Hangzhou, China and continuing to work for Obsidian Entertainment on contract on a currently-unannounced title.

Hmm, this is getting intresting Funcroc, it still says he is working for Obsidian. So clearly not an ex-employee Edited June 17, 201114 yr by Flouride Hate the living, love the dead.
June 17, 201114 yr Working for Obsidian on contract is different from working at Obsidian. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
June 18, 201114 yr It seems why Obsidian is hiring UI artist(s) that Jason Sereno is living in China.
June 28, 201114 yr Not sure how many people read the DS3 forums here (and why would they...) So I figure I'll post this quote from Eurogamer's interview with Nathaniel Chapman. Eurogamer: Rumour has it your next project is going to be a 2D RPG. Can you tell us anything about that? Nathaniel Chapman: We do have some job postings for something but I can't talk about it, except to say that people will be very excited when they find about it. Familiar IP? Is this the IP that Feargus said was an offer he couldn't refuse?
June 30, 201114 yr Author Icewind Dale 3? One can hope. Though it would clash with uncle Feargus' desire to dumb down character generation. By the way, they're ramping up the job offers. 2D VFX Animator: Obsidian Entertainment is looking for a talented self-motivated animator to create a range of 2D effects and animations for a highly stylized 2D world. Flash Artist Intern (again?) 2D Environment Intern: Obsidian Entertainment is looking for self-motivated artist to draw props and environment concepts for a highly stylized 2D world. 2D Environment Illustrator: Obsidian Entertainment is looking for talented, self-motivated environment artist to help create environment concepts and illustrations for a highly stylized 2D world. Yup, they're definitely working on a 2D game.
June 30, 201114 yr Now I am really curious what that game will be. If people will be "very excited" about it, it must be something we know already. Probably something old that hasn't been touched since a while? "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
June 30, 201114 yr Do many 2D games get made now that aren't XBLA/Steam/PSN titles? Also, is highly stylized just a marketing buzzword or are we to expect a really cartoony art style?
