March 15, 201213 yr that was fast. But, good. They probably couldn't keep 80+ employees on South Park alone. What are the chances this is a ex-publisher chipping in? Seems like someone offered them a contract in reaction. Edited March 15, 201213 yr by C2B
March 15, 201213 yr Great! I also hope that some of the "lost" people will find their way to InXile. Edited March 15, 201213 yr by PoetAndMadman
March 15, 201213 yr http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/15/obsidian-missed-fallout-new-vegas-metacritic-bonus-by-one-point/ That article mentions that Fader's credentials included a project codenamed 'Vermont' and the article assumes that it's South Park. iirc South Park was actually Project New York. So is Vermont this new secret project?
March 15, 201213 yr Vermont was something older I would imagine, since it Sydney Wolfram (?) working on it and she was laid off like a year ago. This new project is most likely their kickstarter project. Unless Feargus had an ace up his sleeve with another contract waiting to be signed. Hate the living, love the dead.
March 16, 201213 yr I have a mixed feeling about this. On one hand it's great news, because they have a new project that hopefully will let them stay afloat, but on the other hand, getting a project on such a short notice may not bode well for WHAT the project is. If Faergus got this project just now and it's not a result of some long-term talks closed recently, it may be some crappy/uninteresting license or bad terms (like with Bethesda, or even worse). I really hope it's not like that and a new project will be something awesome. If it's kickstarter, then announce it already and take my money

I wonder if Fader just mistook Vermont with Virginia (Would be weird though). Since Vermont is the 14th state by date of statehood after North Carolina (12th) and Rhode Island (13th)
March 16, 201213 yr unannounced project unannounced project unannounced project So many possibilities, so few results, so much RAGE!
March 16, 201213 yr This new project is most likely their kickstarter project. Unless Feargus had an ace up his sleeve with another contract waiting to be signed. Well, whatever it is, it didn't stop the layoffs from happening, so at best it's a 10 of Diamonds up his sleeve...

March 17, 201213 yr Well, whatever it is, it didn't stop the layoffs from happening, so at best it's a 10 of Diamonds up his sleeve... Hard to say, it could be many things as PNC was bigger of the two projects they have. It could be a new project for publisher with smaller staff, Kickstarter or a project they are working on to pitch it to publishers. Hate the living, love the dead.

March 17, 201213 yr So... e-mail chess? Also Incubation had it. Good old times. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
March 17, 201213 yr That second-to-last Need For Speed game had that (time comparison to friends etc.), so it might not be what you're thinking. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
March 17, 201213 yr Frozen Synapse had it as well and that game was great as MP. Hate the living, love the dead.
March 17, 201213 yr Could be a turn based rpg. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the point. Edited March 17, 201213 yr by Labadal
March 17, 201213 yr Could be a turn based rpg. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the point. Turn based would be likely. It could also be a WEGO system such as used in the Combat Mission games where 'turns' are resolved simultaneously in real time, once both players have set up their moves.
