Sammy Studios

this seem rather intresting, some members of OWI are actually working there (If I understood correctly):

Farzad Varahramyan, Creative Visual Director


Chris Ulm, Design Director


Paul O’Connor

don't they have enough work at OWI?

I don't think any of them work for Oddworld Inhabitants anymore. Paul O'Conner wasn't listed in the main credits for Munch's Oddysee, there was a rumour Farzad was leaving, and I dunno about Chris Ulm.

Don't tell me you haven't heard the rumour about massive layoffs at the OWI Studios... *sighs* I'll find the article for you.

Yea its predictable in the art world. You don't stay in one place forever. I am sure they probabally found a better deal money wise. And unfortunately thats what this business world is all about. Its brutel like that but if you want to be successful at what you do then thats what you have to do. Move from place to place to broaden your horizons.

OWI is a great and wounderful company. But its only video games and maybe they wanted to go onto bigger and better things beyond video games. Its normal thats what I would have done if I was in their shoes. They probabally were offered a better deal most likely. But your right Xavier we will miss them.

Yes I was sad to hear that many of the OWI crew had left, another was Marquise Bent (not sure if thats how you spell his name). I am glad to hear however that most of them are doing well, Marquise for example teaches art classes now and as we can see the others Xav listed seem to be doing great in their new job's as well.
