Computer Games Magazine has interviewed Leonard Boyarsky, who along with Jason Anderson and Tim Cain founded Troika, on the closing of their development studio. The interview has some very interesting information, definately worth a read by any Troika fan.<blockquote>Computer Games - Before closing down, Troika was reportedly working on a post-apocalypse themed RPG. What can you tell us about this project?
Leonard Boyarsky - Not much, we didn’t get further than a tech demo and pitch doc. We also had a forest level running in the engine to show for more of a fantasy setting that looked fantastic.
Computer Games - In your letter to No Mutants Allowed, you hinted that this may not be quite the end for Troika. Is it possible that you and other members of the team might start a new developer with the Troika name attached?
Leonard Boyarsky - Tim, Jason and myself are trying to decide what we’re going to do next and at the moment, none of us really has any idea what we want to do. While I’d like to believe Troika will come back, I doubt it will actually happen.
Computer Games - As you know Bethesda Softworks is now working on the next official Fallout game. Have you or any of the other Troika team members been contacted by BethSoft to work on the game and if not would you be interested in such an offer?
Leonard Boyarsky - As far as I know, none of my team members has been contacted by Bethesda. Tim, Jason, and I have definitely not been contacted. We’d be very interested in working with Bethesda on Fallout…</blockquote> The possibilities... at least in the mind of a Fallout fan.
