Dave "Zeb" Cook aka Lord Recluse has officially left Cryptic Studios. He was the lead designer for CoV. The 'official' announcement came on page 2 of a thread wondering when his "Ask a Dev" answers were going to be made available to everyone. Post made by Alexa, CoH/V Community Manager
We regret that the Ask Lord Recluse portion of our "Ask A Dev" series will not have a set of final answers from Zeb Cook. Zeb is no longer at Cryptic Studios and we wish him the best in his future endeavors. The CoH/CoV community thanks Zeb for all of his hard work and support.
No reasons given yet for why he left, which only leads to lots of speculation (did he jump or was he pushed?). It's been noted in the original thread that he hadn't posted in about six weeks - enough time to give official notice before quitting. |

Maybe he wasn't too happy with the direction CoV went?

Perhaps. He always seemed pretty happy about it when making posts. <shrug>

That didn't last long after release. Pretty strange but it may just be a matter of priorities since he still does p&p stuff.

That is possible. Getting the game to this point was probably a lot more interesting than slowly expanding it from here. We see the shift from design team to live team all the time (although I wonder if that is really the best way since it often leads to a change in direction).

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Or maybe, less dramatically, he noticed that all the jobs he could step up to at Cryptic were taken and unlikely to come available, and he saw an opportunity elsewhere.
That is, after all, why the vast majority of normal people change jobs.

When talking to IGE people, I imagine it's like talking about the concept of reification within the US economy with a 4 year old.
Interview Subject: (Complex mechanical explanation)
IGE: Durrr....are the graphics shiney? Does it have Elves? In Bikinis?
