Leaving Raven Software

Postby Generalvivi on Wed May 25, 2011 2:19 am

So my friends, it has been a long journey and a really awesome one at that. I've gotten the chance to work on some really awesome titles and learn a lot of cool things about the industry. Sadly that has to come to an end as I am moving onto a new studio.

I recently accepted a job with Irrational games as a designer on the next Bioshock game 8). My official start date is mid June and I can't wait to start and work with unreal tech again :)

Since you're leaving them, can you add some references of Interlopers on their upcoming patches?

Nice ;)

On a totally unbiased side-note, could you make sure it's not "dumbed down for console players"?

:lol:

Anyways, seems like a good move, congrats.

AWESOME! Good luck, Irrational should be fun to work for. But don't they only have a studio in Australia?

Ha! Awesome Kitten!

It's actually really cool, I found out one of their lead designers actually used to frequent lopers way back in the day. Found that out during my interview there and literally was like "OMG YOU ARE A LOPER KID! WE ARE BROTHERS"

Just so you know, any failings with Infinite will be directly attributed to you now.
(Joking aside, massive congratulations, you really are moving up in the world man.)
