Plan for Allen Turner

by Allen Turner · 07/11/2002 (9:12 pm) · 3 comments

As of the beginning of May I'm now employed by Day 1 Studios as a Game Designer. I'm currently working on Mech Assault for the X-Box and loving it. Unfortunately this does mean that many of the things that I've been working on have been put on hold until further notice. I also will have to decline being active in anyone elses game development for a while (mostly due to contractual reasons).


I would like to express thanks for the support that I ve gotten from friends family and some of the folks I've met here like Joe Thatcher and wish them as much luck as has fallen on me.

As time permits (especially after crunch) I hope to post my thoughts on what it's like moving into the non indie developer world as a developer and offer advice to others if I can. (like I've got any real wisdom to offer, heh).
