Justin Fic heads back to Vegas!
So it’s official: Marathon: Durandal is done, and my contract with Freeverse has come to an end. Tomorrow morning I will be hopping on a plane to California for a weekend on the beach, and then it’s back to Vegas! I’ll miss these guys, but god damn if I haven’t been waiting for the day I could go home!
By the way, to the listeners of BDPE- one of the reasons we haven’t recorded in awhile is that all my equipment is currently in a box on a truck headed vaguely west. When both me and my shit are all in the same place again we can sit down and record, or else I’d have to be recorded remotely by Buck or Miller over the phone, which would sound like ass.
Once I’m home, I have some soul searching to do- Freeverse has approached me to do another project as a full time employee, and I would even be in a lead designer position. But I can’t forget why I’ve been doing what I’ve been doing. When I started working on Marathon: Durandal, I was an independent contractor, and that’s what I am still. I have too many awesome ideas that need to be explored! But naturally this doesn’t rule out Freeverse- I have big plans for myself and it would be a shame if Freeverse wasn’t involved 
Also of note: David Jaffe also announced his own jump to indie development today under the new studio Eat Sleep Play. A nice coincidence! Best of luck to David.
What the hell is Marathon?
