Damien on Josh and Van Buren

Lived Through the Heat Death
Well here is a post made on NMA by Damien "Puuk" Foletto on Sawyer departure:
<blockquote>JE leaving was a big blow for all of us on the project, no way around it. However, the stuff he was working on, the technical side of the project (rules, interfaces, etc.), is nearly complete (I think there are only two more interfaces that need to be done, and they are simple ones). Josh made sure that part, the part he was responsible for, was done by the time he left, and I think that is a huge example of his integrity and his passion for doing a great job.

The story and areas for VB have been finished for a few months now, so his input has been received and applied. We are currently building maps and writing dialogues. Sean Reynolds has been creative lead almost since MCA left and has been doing a very fine job of making sure we knows hwo ta write good.

On a personal note, I have really enjoyed working with Josh, and have been very impressed watching him grow into a great lead designer. He is a person who learns from his triumphs and mistakes and grows from those lessons - and in this industry, that's almost impossible to find. He knows when to step in and when to step back, and knows how to empower his employees. He brings a lot to BIS and will be sorely missed. I wish him good luck in his future venture (no, it's not Obsidian) and I know he will develop great things when he gets there.

And VB keeps on chugging along..

hmmm...after discovering the sad news about J.E. and reading
the different comments of everyone, i just can't help wonder how long has J.E. been seriously considering resigning?

I mean, just a few days ago, he seemed all happy about his "Wonderful Moment" and now, it felt as if he just erased that in his memory.

I hope it was a really good reason...and not about money... where did all the passion go?

It was a really good reason, please trust me on this.
 
It is a good reason. A VERY good reason.

Interplay stopped providing free food and soft drinks to their programmers as part of a cost cutting measure.

Are we ever going to find out why? I've seen people in the know speak up a few times now, but no one's willing to say anything.
 
if there is a really good reason, i would really wanna know.

if its not convient to be posted public, i will pm and mug the admins.

:lol:
 
Briosa said somewhare at BIS Feedback that we should wait few days. Maybe then we'll know.
