Plan for Ian Wheat

by Ian Wheat · 01/26/2002 (12:14 pm) · 5 comments

Well, I was offered a position working on Josh Albrecht's team working on their project which is currently untitled... so I left Dark Beginnings, which was a good idea because as has been pointed out an MMORPG is not for and indie developer!

I would go into the problems here but not right now =)

After returning to the Dark Beginnings chat this afternoon I found that the project was completely rearranged. New project leader who is not the one I said should be in charge after I left, new lead programmer, and they're considering using the Quake2 engine! very sad considering that we had so much progress with Torque.

Anyway, i'm happy working as a mapper and GUI/HUD builder for Josh's team so it doesn't bother me.

Quake 2 sucks compared to Torque. What a bunch of morons.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly =)
Now they've changed the name and aren't even making an MMORPG anymore.
