Warren Spector Starts His Own Shop

Gamespot has the word that designer Warrren Spector has gone ahead and formed his own development shop. The company, Junction Point, is titled after a MMOG that Warren designed but never got off the ground. From the article: "The company has started preliminary development on a "fantasy" title created by Spector, who worked at Dungeons and Dragons creator TSR in the 1980s. Although Spector said the title was rapidly evolving, he did not give any indication about what specific subgenre the game would fall under or what platforms it would be released for."

Yay for him

Warren Spector is a real innovator (or at least seems to always have his name on the most innovative projects) so when I heard he left ION I was pretty sad. But if he's starting his own game house then I hope this is just the start of better days for him.

System Shock, the 1994 classic in which he was involved, affected me so much I wrote an entire novel based on the game.

Amazing guy.
