I see Aynen respond to Jack on Twitter sometimes. Funnily enough I never see Jack's own tweets even though I follow him. I think he must have blocked me or something.

I really doubt this is a game for me but I'm interested to see what they've done.

I'm not sure which username Jack used last around here.

this is recent news

www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-04-20-were-competing-with-aaa-titles-we-cant-expect-to-be-treated-differently-for-being-an-indie-darling

this quote from the article raised my eyebrow somewhat

"Fortunately, the remarkably amicable split from 22cans proved to be invaluable. Once Attridge and his Flavourworks colleagues had handed in their notice, Molyneux actually approved and encouraged them to work on their prototype in the evenings - something other studio heads would have worked tirelessly to prevent. This minimised the risk when reaching out to publishers and investors, as the Flavourworks team already had a working concept demo of their ambitious game."

very surprised at this, as this doesn't fit into the image of moly that i expected, he was ok with them doing programming for a different game in company time, thats actaully pretty admirable, if i were boss of some guys leaving me, i dont think i would have been quite so kind hearted

The only thing greater than success is spectacular failure!

Griffork: I'm back! Just saw the trailer of Masters of Albion and it's a godgame! Immediately thought of this forum and decided to visit. Aug 21, 2024 7:51:22 GMT

Griffork: Sorry for being away for so long. The job I had at the beginning of the year seems to be having a full-blown melt-down (and I got caught in it). I'm now at a new place but the new job has been a very hectic learning experience (yay for being on R&D!) Aug 21, 2024 7:55:26 GMT

Lord Ba'al: He is indeed at it again. I read a few lines from some article saying he took something from this game and something from that game and something from yet another game and put it all together. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:06 GMT
