I just heard the news that Green Monster Games (GMG) in Boston, Mass has picked up some serious talent for their new game (currently in pre-production). A few folks from Sony Online Entertainment have recently joined the fold, including Ryan Shwayder (former SOE Community Manager for EverQuest II and keeper of the NerfBat, Steve Danuser (a.k.a. Moorgard, former SOE Community Manager, and most recently, Designer on EverQuest II), and Erik Theisz (Former SOE Design Supervisor and Associate Producer of the original EverQuest II and all expansion including “Echoes of Faydwer”, which released today). Normally, I don’t plan on reporting on who’s where, but I personally feel so excited for these guys that I couldn’t help but post about it. That and the fact that I lived in New England my whole life up until June of this year, so I’m happy to see the gaming industry taking off more and more on the east coast! Anyways, I just want to extend a heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS to those picked to be a part of this exciting project! Great job guys!
