Developer Story Time with Old Man Davis

[Haba]

Really, really looking forward to going back to Obsidian. Brian Menze has threatened to hug me for an hour, which is awesome.

You should videotape the whole thing. With close-ups of faces.

 

[OSK]

Does this mean Anthony Davis will have to stop posting here?

I don't think most studios would enforce what forum employees should not post at.
I fear the problem is that the content of posts will mostly be about donuts instead of anecdotes from now on.

Ain't nothing wrong with dounts.

I imagine there'll be less tell all, expose style anecdotes revealing the shocking truth of goings on behind the doors at Obsidian. On the other hand there'll be a whole cache of happenings which will form the basis of future posts in the inevitable Developer Story Time with Old Man Davis circa 2040 thread which will pop up when we're all just heads in jars.

That Kaboom article was awesome.

Unless you are a fatass with triple bypass surgery.

Gluttony is a completely different department.

Good Point.

It is like X in Avernum 3 says about magic if you ask him about the Amana. Whys is vogel making shit like avadon now

 

[Aeschylus]

Man, I would kill for that Vault 13 flask. Straight up murder. But sadly it is not to be .

Best of luck back at Obsidian.

 

[Jaesun]

So happy you are going back to Obsidian Anthony!

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

MCA claims no present restriction on obsidian employees about forum posting.
George Ziets claims that FNV development Obsidian Employees had a clause forbidding employees to post on codexia.

So Obsidian Employees not posting now. Did they realise staying away from the codex is better for their sanity?

OR was Anthony Davis hired at Obsidian so that they could get him to stop posting all these anecdotes whereas George Ziets is left to the dogs?

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

My guess is that Feargus hates us and all this is his doing, because people only like MCA and will only make slamdunk jokes when Feargus is concerned. Must hurt.

 

[serch]

Feargus is pretty cool. The only post of him I remember here was about fisting people. That surely worths something.

Sure Obsidian are bros and all... but I like Brian Fargo's policy of keeping inXile lean and mean. Just wish someone would make a storyfag CnC heavy steampunk Victorian RPG with low magic and elements of horror. Is popamole version of that the secret project by any chance? Or a little birdy was shitting me?

There's actually quite a good chance for that from what I've gathered. Or something similiar at least.

Oh man, something like that would be AWESOME!

Yeah, you know what. If that little birdie is legit someone involved a Victorian era rpg just became my number 1 guess for the new project.

Too much of a coincidence.

What little birdie? What are you guys talking about?

corporate talk for "we don't have enough money to hire the people we would need to keep shedule"

Turning a weakness into a strength isn't the same as hiding a weakness as a strength.

Well on my side I spent a considerable amount of time putting the information so far together from quotes and other stuff, then pondered possible settings that would fit. Victorian era/style was one of em'.

Now chaotic_heretic talking about it and adding "Or a little birdy was shitting me?" (which I take as an implication he got a hint from someone) kinda pushes it as my first guess.

That's still *just* an educated guess though, based on highly speculative information.

The little birdie is probably you.

Nope, didn't mention it beforehand.
