Goodbye, boys!

Yes, the men above are likely to be the last ones I draw for Ageod, as I'm leaving...

I wanted to say thank you to all the nice people here, your kind comments were much appreciated.
I've spent 3 years working for Ageod, and it was a great adventure ; I've learned tons of things and been improving myself a lot ; I shared moments of great doubt and great happiness with all the team... Special thanks to PhilThib and Pocus for having trusted me... and very very special thanks to Robin, for his help and attention during these years, surely the best artistic director (and boy friend) I have ever seen. :)

I wish them the best for the next projects! I'll be working on other games (totally different type of games), but still keeping an eye on them. ;)

Goodbye, good luck, good games! :hat:

Sad to see you leave, Sandra, since the graphics for AACW are one of the more significant reasons for the game having the appeal it has. Best of luck in the future!

Oh, and let us know if you decide to do your blog in English! :)

You wrote a beautiful page of Ageod's story, Sandra.

Bonne route dans ta nouvelle voie !

Your work is one of the main reasons people play this game. Good luck Sandra.
Forrest said something about killing a Yankee for each of his horses that they shot. In the last days of the war, Forrest had killed 30 of the enemy and had 30 horses shot from under him. In a brief but savage conflict, a Yankee soldier "saw glory for himself" with an opportunity to kill the famous Confederate General... Forrest killed the fellow. Making 31 Yankees personally killed, and 30 horses lost...

He remarked, "I ended the war a horse ahead."

Bye Sandra and good luck ! :coeurs:
With your talent, Robin and you really added "something more" in AGEOD's games that doesn't exist anywhere else.
We'll miss you (in fact we already miss you !) :p leure: :siffle:

But, I am still there, PDF.
Even if I had to work in an advertising company for material reasons, I am always able to work with ageod and to try to give my best ideas and visions to the future games (these days I try to help the team who work on a still secret sequel of BOA and ACW. Chut...).

I only hope that my professionnal situation will let me more time to put my energy on games and game design... And notabilly for my own project of Science Fiction Game based on the Ageod Game Engine.
Give me time... As Napoleon said.

PS : Special thanks and Grand Bravo to Sandra who was the best team partner I have ever had (pro and private...).

Good Luck Sandra!!! You do great work!

Robin,

Stick with the Scifi game plan, I would love to see a real strategy Scifi game, the market is yours for the taking. I loved Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds game and I know he wanted to try another one eventually. Maybe you could team up, his music and your game, sounds like a match. Please no fantasy stuff, and if I had my way, a straight alien invasion game, ala WOTW.

If you could make this a solid representation of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers, you would make an old man very happy ... and probably sell a lot of copies, if the market record of the somewhat lame 1976 AH boardgame version is any indication...

Best of luck to you in your future endeavors. The artwork in BoA and now AACW is one the truly unique features of these games. Usually the artwork in games is just chrome...sometimes good...sometimes bad, but ultimately not important. The artwork in AGEOD games, on the other hand, is integral to the games themselves giving the feel of a boardgame.

Aw. Very sad. :(
