Lived Through the Heat Death
If you check the credits from Fallout you`ll find the name Leonard Boyarsky. He`s now Joint CEO and Producer at Troika Games, where he`s responsable for the Vampires:The Masquerade Bloodlines game, and has a designer diary at Gamespot, here is a zip:
<blockquote>And that's just about where we came into the picture. Who are we, you ask? We're Troika Games. Created by the minds behind Fallout, Troika went on to create the critically acclaimed Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura and, most recently, The Temple of Elemental Evil (we love long names, obviously).
When it came time to do our next game after Arcanum, we decided we wanted to challenge ourselves and move from our comfort zone of making isometric-view role-playing games to trying something completely new and challenging. To this end, we had been speaking with Scott Lynch of Valve about using the new Source technology (the same game technology used to power Half-Life2) to create a brand-new, groundbreaking first-person RPG.
Good luck Leon.
