Any idea what FC were working on?

Given the latest doom & gloom posts on these forums, I figured I'd stalk our senior designer on his LinkedIn page.

His list of projects includes (interesting one highlighted in bold):

Also, his experience includes the following:

That doesn't sound like LEGO. And Bloodline Champions was only published by FC, but developed by a studio in Sweden.

I'm obviously not expecting an official answer to this, but does anyone have a clue what they may have been working on?

EDIT: Must have been Fashion World Live I guess :p

The guy is asking for what they started with 3 years ago. "New Startup Project (2012 - 2013, Senior Game Designer)". It cant be Lego because it didnt fail back then as it hadnt released. And it cant be porting Lego to ios because Lego wasnt done back then either. They started dragon spine in 2012 though after turan.

Yeah but why would Cirith mention all AoC iterations he worked on (RotGS, Unchained, Turan) by name, yet refer to Dragon Spine as "New Startup Project". Also, DS doesn't fit with "PvP centered massive multiplayer title" with "squad based combat and base building".

New content production is at a stand-still, I hope subscribers are starting to realize they are paying for hopes and dreams now

You mean, we are no longer paying for TSW? :p

But as I said above, I don't think the project he was working on was related to AoC in the first place. Just wondering what it may have been.
