I’m totally psyched. All-around awesome guy Ken Harward was just made Studio Head at Ritual Entertainment. I met him at GDC ’03, back when I was just a young student and didn’t know a single person in the game industry. I remember we started chatting about stuff and he invited me out to dinner with his co-workers. A lead programmer invited me out to dinner with real live game developers OMG! I was star-struck. It was an awesome experience for me, and we had some really awesome conversations (one was about the market prospects for niche games).
Also, this is an example of someone extremely competent being promoted from within the ranks to a high-level management position, in direct opposition to my rant from earlier this week. So that makes me happy.
