Now Consulting at ArenaNet on Guild Wars 2

I’m happy to announce that as of April 7th, I am engaged in a contract with ArenaNet for AI consulting on their banner MMO title, Guild Wars 2.

At this time, I can’t divulge the details of what I am working on with them. Suffice to say they have some excellent ideas about how to improve their product in many different areas. I’m pleased that they have brought me in to assist them in this exciting project.

I’m also excited to be working alongside my friend and colleague, Mike Lewis, who has been the AI developer for ArenaNet for a number of years. Mike was instrumental in bringing me in on this project and, as can be seen in his Twitter feed, is just as excited about where we are going as I am!

Anyone else getting a strange sense of foreboding? #NewProjects — Mike Lewis (@ApochPiQ) April 3, 2014

My maniacal laughter is extra evil today. It begins… — Mike Lewis (@ApochPiQ) April 7, 2014

Yeah… it’s gonna be one of THOSE weeks. By which I mean epic. — Mike Lewis (@ApochPiQ) April 8, 2014

I look forward to being able to tell you more of what Mike and I are doing — and especially for players of Guild Wars 2 to see these changes in the game! Stay tuned!
