Feargus Urquhart Speaks

Black Isle’s Feargus Urquhart stopped by their official message boards to post this update on what has been going on with BIS for the last couple of years, and what they’re currently up to. A snippet to follow:


    That brings us to June of 2001. We then tried to ramp up TORN, because it was obviously in trouble and pretty much everyone that wasn’t working on the new game went to work on that project. Then with Interplay’s financial problems, we layed some people off and cancelled TORN. So that I could retain as much of Black Isle as I could, I had to come up with a project that could be finished relatively quickly and was a slam dunk with very little to no risk of it getting done on time. That project is the Monroe project which we are announcing within the week.

The “Monroe” project? Is that a codename for Icewind Dale II? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
