Michael Hoge has left game industry altogether, which is sad. This would be a golden opportunity to bring back the old team. But I think he and Bjorn might have had a falling out.

He is still around, but not the way anyone here would hope...

He is currently working on a furry porn game

The gamedev to furry porn pipeline is real.

Hopefully the vampire porn game is a hit so you don't have to make a furry porn game after that.

Oh man. That really messed me up. I thought he had left game industry because he had lofty standards.

I'm sure it will be tasteful furry porn?

 

[Tyranicon]

Is this the game? Dude's never coming back to (non-porn) RPGs.

The King is dead, long live the king!
Except it's not Henry V but King Lear, holding the dead Cordelia in his arms. Also Cordelia has been dead for 15 years and is nothing but a skelet.
