Jacobs hiring new Design Director

Just skimmed the newsletter.  Seems like he says he saved the company from oblivion by securing the funding and has also hired a "highly experienced" Design Director.

Have not found this person's name yet.

Better not be Snipehunter, Caspien or Vye from CoE.   That would be the one thing to push me over the refund edge.

    Very little long term development experience, has spent his longest stints (3 yrs plus each) in QA for Mythic and Trion.

    Was with AGS / New World for like 3 months at most, started in Aug working on quest design...  :|

    Most of his other design / dev gigs were in the 6 months range or less.

    My opinion is that Mark has pretty much provided no Direction for the last few years so... I guess it can only go up?

    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    So if they have hired a Design Director who did he replace, or have they only just decided that after nine years of development they need one?

    I think it was always Mark.  The only other person I can think of is Ashe Kain (something like that) who jumped from CU to CoE around the time that the Ragnarok game was announced. (Talk about jumping from the frying pan to the fire...).

    But I think he was a producer or something.

    Christina Carr is currently the lead gameplay engineer. No idea how the roles will change with the new hire (if at all). 

    Why they need a design director right now, I can't really say. In my opinion, the engine is ready and now they want to thoroughly explore the gameplay possibilities that their technology can offer.
