RIP Kirill Pokrovsky of Larian

[Quatlo]

I just hope they will not hire some talentless hack like jeremy soule or inon zur

 

[Akratus]

Who's left out of good Western composers?

Matt Uelmen. But he's practically dead since he doesn't work on any noteworthy games anymore. Still fucking talented though so. . .

Raised one when this news first broke, and now will raise one again.

Will pop the DOS soundtrack in and enjoy it along with a beer.
Cheers to Kirill, Larian, and Codex.

Kirril's soundtracks are the only ones I can listen to while at work (game soundtracks that is), just so memorable. I even love his DOS soundtrack. A truly unique musician.

They still have not mentioned who will be taking his place; Understandable but still, much as i'd call me a fanboy, fair is only fair; I'd rather they had this nailed down prior to initiating their KS, rather than at some point..whenever. Nothing even on a tentative level. Most people don't think of music as important a factor as say graphikkks, which helps Larian even further considering their broadening of their audience. Typical expectations, most questions are about romances, quests, how improved the visuals are, how zomgpao the skills will turn out to be. But it is important to a good number of people. Kirill spoiled the way

Have obviously pledged despite this, but i still think it's bad policy. Far as i am concerned, Kickstarter pitches should be made by referencing each and every segment of the game planned. We don't leave a whole aspect absent, hang a 'tba' sign and start taking money. Especially when last time we did a KS, we failed to deliver one. One that we got paid for.
(and yes, i know others pitch with half as much. I don't fucking pledge in those though, now do i)

Makes perfect sense.

Michiel van den Bos

Interestingly enough it seems he didn't work on AoW III

He did, not sure where you got that. Or at least he SAID he did, and was credit as much.
