Re: Island Four (pretty long) Story of Events

In Response To: Re: Island Four (pretty long) Story of Events (poena.dare #CP#)

: Thanks, Tim. I always wondered what happened to Bitner. Unfortunately, during
: the time of I4's initial creation I was on an extended sabbatical, so I
: have a question: What exactly was I4 going to do? I remember Bitner saying
: something about a military guy that he was going to work with to create
: something "new" and "different".

: For those young whippersnapers out there, I suggest you heed this story. One
: startup I was involved with had a very similar situation. Things like this
: happen more often than you think.

I4 was going to create a new game development studio. We were going to play off of several very popular genres in gaming. Bitner was going to bring that "Bungie Touch" to the table, while I, and who ever else who was to be hired would make it all work and bring the fun into it.

Well it never happened, and the dream went down the drain, slow at first, then so fast not even super man could have stopped it.

I hope this does show as a good story for anyone else thinking of breaking out into the industry. This put untold amounts stress on my family and my professional life. Make sure everything is in order before you take that first step. This is a lot different than just making a mod for quake. People's lives and homes become collateral damage. Relationships are ruined.
