Marceror Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 A lot of codexers will have nightmares. That seems to be their nature anyway. So, what's one more "reason"? 6 "Now to find a home for my other staff."My Project Eternity Interview with Adam Brennecke
Flouride Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 I guess it will depend on how much control he has over projects. Hate the living, love the dead.
RingMachine Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 A lot of codexers will have nightmares. Not really. The majority of the people there don't care enough about Obsidian these days for that to happen. 1
rjshae Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 The potential drawback of becoming a management-type is that you don't get hands on work as often as you're too busy directing the efforts of other people. On the other hand you get more influence over the vision of the projects you're directing. Personally I prefer getting my hands dirty with the nitty gritty details. Attending meetings all the time gets rather old. 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Does it actually mean anything, though? It means I’m responsible for helping with overall design direction at the studio. I’ve always talked to designers on other teams about their work, but now it’s part of my job. I talk to individual designers at all levels about challenges they’re facing and what they’re trying to accomplish. I also talk to producers and game directors about high-level design direction and focus. I try to play our games regularly to give feedback on specific issues I come across as well as areas where a team is doing well. I help review all incoming design applications and sit in on as many design interviews as is reasonable. Currently I’m revising and updating old documentation that covers basic design principles that Obsidian has used and continues to use in our games. Obsidian is a lot larger now than it was ten years ago. Tribal knowledge only goes so far and all standards documentation needs to be regularly reviewed. Edited April 17, 2016 by Infinitron

Too busy playing Fallout 4 I take it? You must spent at least 100 hours in a game you despise so you can properly explain some noob why he is wrong for liking the game. That's just common sense. 6 This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Gfted1 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Shouldnt affect too much with established IP's and I already know to avoid the flavor of Obs original IP's, so should be all good. Grats on the promotion "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

That being said, this thread would probably get more attention in the C&C area. Not a lot of traffic comes through this way.
kanisatha Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 A lot of codexers will have nightmares. Wouldn't mind if some of their heads exploded as well.
Artas1984 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Seeing how he took great care in IWD 2 development, this is good news. I liked IWD 2 very much, even though in the beginning i hated this game
