Where is Steve Kirby these days?

[Urbansparx]

Has anyone heard from Steve Kirby recently? Is he still at Frontier? I have spoken to him a few times at Lavecon's and he is a top bloke. Hopefully he is still involved.

Left the project a while ago - there's a message from him in Dubbuennel

That's a real shame. He seemed to have a real handle on the game.

I'd be in the pub personally, followed by the kebab shop.

Stop, haven't had my victuals this eve and my drink has become a dog's life, cur tailed.

Oh no. one of the 2 developers who played elite that built it. No idea he had left.

Wonder if any developer is working on elite or they're just using ai to write the code.

hmmmm.

 

[Lightspeed]

I bet the dev team miss him.

Comms Beacons don't scan - they play audio at fixed intervals. Don't who when that one fires though, so could be a long wait. (Or else change your system clock to make it fire)

Cheers Drew. Looks like a few of the good ones have departed. Hopefully the new recruits will be a passionate.

They are changing their teams faster than anyone his underwear. What´s going on? Chinese influence?

Yes, the evil Chinese Tencent 9% shareholder overlords fired Steve Kirby for being too passionate about Elite. Why on earth would China have anything to do with this?

Very sadly I have to say, and I suspect in a lot of opinions here.

Speaking of old time devs...anyone know is Mike Evans (designer) still working at Frontier (and specially Elite)?

 

[CMDR Karrde Sun]

It's also quite common for people to move on to other jobs.

Yes, but always to something perceived as better than where you currently are.

 

[CMDR Karrde Sun]

Imagine that people moving on to better things.

He said he grew up with elite played it with his dad, been a fan all his life. I respected that. Hope he wasn't too devastated.

 

[CMDR Karrde Sun]

Well for some real life concerns trump nostalgia about a game they played as a kid.

Hopefully Mr Kirby is happy in whatever job he has now.

Well, not really, I think the inspirations of when you're young are the only things that are convincing as "dreams", or maybe i just need to get out more

Yes, best wishes for Steve Kirby.
