Prey Weekly Update #20

Joe Siegler · 05-26-2006, 11:23 AM

Writing this amidst the dust and piles of unopened boxes of our new offices. That's right, Human Head has moved offices -- not to a new city, just across town. We're still here in Madison, Wisconsin.

Why did we decide to move now? Well, there were these stalkers... no, just kidding. We decided to move office space about a year-and-a-half ago, because we wanted a larger space and a better layout for our workflow. That, and we were just getting sick of the old place and wanted a change. We tried to schedule the move until after Prey was complete, but due to various timing issues as the place was built, the move was eventually scheduled for this week.

Interestingly enough, we divided into artists/animators on one side and programmers/level designers on the other side. So, Human Head was unconsciously split into a right brain/left brain arrangement. Weird.

That's funny.

That was pretty interesting, it must be very hectic to move offices in the tail end of development on a game.

I hope it doesn't involve a delay of more than one week...

It's good that the demo is coming together well.

Technically an official date other than 'July' hasn't been given.....so it would be an invisible delay.

It's raining through the roof but it's still better then their old office? Where have they been working up until now? In a cardboard box?

Snafu · 05-26-2006, 04:46 PM

BloodRayne? Talk about torture.

Falcon · 05-26-2006, 05:11 PM

I know it would be an invisible delay, I meant a REAL one.

...and a theater room (of which the inaugural movie we watched was BloodRayne.)

Tainted! Time to rebuild.

And they have showers, too. I guess that's for the best.

Hey I am an international student (Indian) studying in Australia now. Even I manage to rent a house in which the roof doesnt leak. So if you guys want a leak proof house to live in Australia, do give me a shout. I may allow a couple of you guys to live for free, as long as I get to test play every day the "hidden not to be talked about super secret untold and un-existing project" coming up next with strippas and alien butt kicking action in it

. Ofcourse you have to cook your own food and wash your own dishes ! LMAO !

Yay, good update...

Not much about Prey, but still a good read...

I think the "two halfs of a brain" part was quite funny, because of the reference to the "human Head"

Made me laugh...
I hope that "whole parted head"-headquarter is going to be a good place further-on for HHS...

ShadeEX · 05-28-2006, 04:39 AM

Nice update looking forward too the pictures..

havn't seen bloodrayne.. well i guess i have to even if its bad..

but leaks from the cealing aren't that bad.. well a least not if they don't spill down in a computer..

amckern · 05-28-2006, 09:17 AM

I just saw this over at Blues News, and am waiting for a good quilty demo, let alone game!

05-28-2006, 03:00 PM

Hope none of the movers is a gamer, maybe they burned off a back-up disc for them selves, and are uploading it right now as we "speak"???

hell-angel · 05-29-2006, 12:40 AM

The horror,

I am certain they have taken care of that.

05-29-2006, 03:09 AM

LOL... the horror... yes...

Antosa · 05-31-2006, 04:22 AM

Very interesting.
It would be beautiful to see of the photos of the new office.

Travis · 06-01-2006, 04:00 AM

Cool, this new office should help Human Head in the long run
