Developer Story Time with Old Man Davis

ebay links

Do people actually buy these signed copies for $300+?

Yes.

And you guys still bothered with a kickstarter? Start signing swag 24/7!

Asking for readily available money? Let's see how this turns out. Typically 2nd world grasp on economics. To explain it in your terms: We're rich because you're poor.

Erik's an evil man, he has more than one copy of some rare items, reducing the number of available copies for us, mere mortals.

Agree. Those gecko in a cans man. I must have. I MUST.

Didn't Anthony sell one of those on ebay recently? Or was he only going to?

I believe he bundled it with that Vault Boy original art/flask, and sold it for some crazy high price hoping no one would take it.

He did not count on Tidemann tho!

Anthony Davis, how do you feel about being the OP on the first thread on the codex to reach 1000 pages?

 

[Anthony Davis]

I actually love it. I expect to be enshrined somewhere for it.

...is there going to be a reference to the Codex thread within the game?

The Endless Paths of Co Dex.

Kodeksia: Mental Institution for the criminally insane.

 

[Sensuki]

I have over 35 pages worth of posts in that thread, although I have a feeling someone else has more (Infinitron?)

I kind of wish they would include Volourn as a boss or something the same way Gromnir ended up in ToB. R00fles!

You remember that test-tube guy in the beginning of BG2, with the Charlie Adler voicework? Same thing, hooked up to some funky soul extractor... ever reliving his final moments.

"Why? Why do they lie?"

I doubt Volourn would even care given that it's not a Bioware game... pfffffft.

Anthony updated his Linkedin

I am once again working for Obsidian Entertainment, the job I have loved the most since driving tanks for Uncle Sam. Currently I am working on an unannounced title.

Thanks to Funcroc

So, possibly working on presenting new kickstarter project ?

He's a gameplay programmer though. Unless he's somehow the Project Director I don't think he would be involved at this stage.

Probably next-gen thing.

 

[Anthony Davis]

I only changed the tense of that sentence. Previously it was something like, "In November I will be going back to Obsidian, the job I loved most since driving tanks. "

I'm a Senior UI and Gameplay programmer.

Do spill the beans about the project you're working on, please. I assume it's in an advanced enough stage to even have a UI and gameplay? IS IT COMING TO PC or is it only for next-game consoles? We need to know!!1

Thx

Can you drop some hints about the project? On a scale from 1-10 how wrong were my previous predictions?

I have an odd question about the gaming industry. To be honest, I'm not sure you've been in it long enough to know about this, but as somebody who worked both in California and Texas perhaps you ran into something like it.

The question is: Are there, or were there in the past, regional rivalries within the US gaming industry? In particular, would you say that there is/was a California or "West Coast" games industry milieu that developers elsewhere in the United States may have resented?
