[quote name="SteedFan69"]For those who haven't been following Paul Steed lately, here's what he's been up to: [quote name="<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Steed">Wikipedia</a>"]A published author, Paul Steed has written three books on modeling and animating game characters for 3D games. He served on the Advisory Board for GDC for many years and as creative director for Microsoft's Xbox and Atari he gained experience on the other side of the developer fence. He left Atari in 2006 to co-found Exigent with Garland Wong and Jesse Rapczak. As President and Chief Creative Officer at Exigent, a global game art company for next generation and casual games, Paul oversees more than 100 artists in India and China while consulting with top developers and publishers. Most recently he provided creative and managerial leadership for an unannounced UTV Ignition Entertainment project, but has since moved on to a series of casual and console projects that will be announced in 2011.[/quote] [quote name="<a href="http://www.develop-online.net/news/36243/Ignition-closes-US-studio">Scuttlebutt</a>"]Never before seen Reich art from a reliable source an artist who worked on the game. http://www.hostmyjpg.com/i/f107280b54_new_berlin_1.jpg http://www.hostmyjpg.com/i/67478064ee_stepoffscene1.jpg Unfortunately the art director and artist who worked on these resigned from the company when Paul Steed and Exigent an outsource studio were brought in to help with management, this was a disaster Steed was a drunk and abused the employees verbally and physically he was eventually fired by Ignition.[/quote] Finally, here's a link to the most fair and balanced article about Paul Steed you will ever read: <a href="http://www.gameguru.in/features/2007/30/a-gamers-delight-talk-with-paul-steed/"><i>A Gamer's Delight - Talk with Paul Steed.</i></a> I would copy and paste some of it but the genius (dot) Indian coders of gameguru.in have apparently broken those functions.[/quote]
