Are there any original LGS employees that visit this site? Where have they all gone?

There were at least 60 of them so they had to go somewhere?:angel:

I think Ken Levine, as Irrationallevine, was the last LGS employee to post here. The dev known here as Krypt didn't work for LGS but he did work on Thief at Ion Storm Austin, and I believe he's the only dev who still logs in and mostly reads up on what the T3Edders are up to, even if he doesn't post much. MysteryDev is another ex-Ion Storm dev who drops by rarely. It's not generally known which devs may still lurk without logging in. Lulu LaMer, (a.k.a., Katiemonster, and most recently, LuluLaMer) came by one day, almost 3 years ago. I think I may be forgetting someone that posted in the last 3 years.

Unfortunately, whenever they come by, they are either crapped on, or some poster makes the atmosphere negative.:tsktsk:

Marc LeBlanc (MAHK) appears to visit the forums every once in a while.

That's the one! Yeah, he's stopped by to promote a game he developed: ARRRRRR!

Why did they do that:weird:

One of my all time favorite games, especially when you consider the lack of imagination that new games have these days - the exception for me was Bioshock.

I think it would be a wise decision to get some of the creative crew back together to develop another version of the game with the same full open atmosphere, eerie compilation and historically visual time capsule. Allot of gamers have grown up at this point and am sure would welcome an alternative.

On a side note, I would be interested in a piece of the original artwork.

Jeff Yaus, the former lead designer for Thief 1, (http://www.metafilter.com/75677/Join-ussss-join-usssss-NOW#2299749) checked in on my (http://www.metafilter.com/75677/Join-ussss-join-usssss-NOW) post about Thief on (http://www.metafilter.com) Metafilter recently, as did (http://www.metafilter.com/75677/Join-ussss-join-usssss-NOW#2301480) another coder. I thought it was pretty cool.

Good read.:cool:

So are they working on anything at all?

Oh yeah. Just Google their names. Many have blogs, have shown up at gaming conventions, spoken at universities, etc., on top of their continued employment. Some of them have written or contributed to books.

Here're lists made awhile back:
