Well shit.

[Pieter Tuulinen]

Five years was about average for me when it comes to 'time in studio'.

In Game Development you tend to need to move to get the job you want, it's very hard to create the job you want in situ.

Oh dear god he's coming to LoL.

Well this'll be interesting.

Inb4 first deployment after he starts there officially changes the name of the game to Rage of Legends...

I'm not up to speed on the LOL thing, am I supposed to like DOTA2 or LOL? Which one is the one to pile derision on?

And best of luck to soundwave of course.

[Kasuko]

Flip a coin, Silas.

[Esna Pitoojee]

Awww... Soundwave was always the awesomes. Will be missed, bad.

[Graelyn]

Perhaps he's realized that moving numbers in the database is the extent of development allowed for EVE for the forseeable future.

[Repentence Tyrathlion]

As an Eve player, sad.  As a League player, woo!

This came up on teamspeak yesterday, good observation as always Graelyn.


It made us all very, very depressed that the last 5 or 6 years of expansions have been 90%  buffing / nerfing.  Buffing / nerfing.  There's no new GAMEPLAY. There's nothing NEW or DIFFERENT going on, they have just been re-arranging deck chairs on the titanic for the last several years of expansion.

Wasn't Soundwave the one that pushed for the Aurum store btw?


Good luck to the man but I wan't someone new in there taking this ship in new and interesting ideas or so help me once Star Citizen is out Eve will be a ghost town.

Perhaps he's realized that moving numbers in the database is the extent of development allowed for EVE for the forseeable future.

In the same vein, however, this is what most of DOTA and LOL's design is about as well. New content is added in the form of champions (which can introduce new mechanics), rebalancing of buffing/nerfing, and sometimes new items around the seasonal changes. New maps/game modes are pushed for, but because the balancing is so centered on the original 5v5 Summoner's Rift these modes aren't allowed to flourish. 3v3 is still in 'beta', and 5v5 Capture&Hold has no competitive support a year or two after its release.

LOL is making cash money though? Likely a pay-raise to a hugely popular and much-watched competitive game?

I'm not sure that Soundwave had the final word on what had to be done gameplay wise anyway.

[Pieter Tuulinen]

There was a call to get back to basics after what many saw as questionable new directions explored without proper planning.

I personally think the ship rebalances were awesome. I think they should be finished but, yeah, I'd like to see some new direction now.
