dan-teasdale-490Just before the weekend hit, news broke out that Rock Band lead designer Dan Teasdale has called it quits from Harmonix. The news was confirmed by him personally in his own blog.

 

 

 

 

“I want to be able to help drive the vision and direction of a game, but at the same time be hands on and physically implement and iterate on the low level of making games in a more substantial way than time affords me when working as a lead on multi-hundred person titles,” he explained.

 

 

 

 

 

It’s been a very fruitful four years for him since he entered Harmonix back in 2006. Looking forward, he’s now getting ready to join Twisted Pixel, the Texas-based studio behind ‘Splosion Man.

 

 

 

 

“It’s the holy grail of game design positions – I’ll get to contribute and help drive the direction of a well funded and supported new title with a close knit superteam, while at the same time being hands on and able to directly impact all aspects of the game.”

 

 

 

 

As to what this new game he’s working on is, he wouldn’t say anything else except that it’s “ridiculously cool.”
