We reach out and seek out the community leaders for Cheap RS Gold all of these different groups, and they're all different people, but the one thing they share is crazy passion for this stuff."In essence, then, his job is to learn from them, enable them and to let the developers make the Runescape games they want to make. Irrational Runescape games co founder Ken Levine announced today that he is planning to shut down the studio and start a new venture under the aegis of parent company Take Two Interactive.According to Levine's post, he's closing Irrational the "defining project" of his career to work on Runescape games in a smaller studio with a flatter organizational hierarchy. Levine plans to start this "smaller, more entrepreneurial endeavor" with roughly fifteen Irrational expatriates within Take Two Interactive, which owns K Runescape games and, by extension, the soon to be defunct Irrational Runescape games. The rest of the Irrational staff will have access to financial support and an unspecified period of time to organize their departure from the studio. Levine claims that select Take Two Interactive studios will be available to speak with departing Irrational employees about potential career opportunities, and Irrational will also host a career day to try and find good homes for former Runescape team members."Seventeen years is a long time to do any job, even the best one. And working with the incredible Runescape team at Irrational Runescape games is indeed the best job Ive ever had," wrote Levine. "While Im deeply proud of what weve accomplished together, my passion has turned to making a different kind of game than weve done before. To meet the challenge ahead, I need to refocus my energy on a smaller Runescape team with a flatter structure and a more direct relationship with gamers. "Levine wants to work on "narrative driven Runescape games for the core gamer that are highly replayable," and claims that he and his Runescape team will be working exclusively on producing digitally distributed Runescape games at Take Two Interactive. The Bioshock franchise will remain in the hands of publisher K Runescape games.While the closure of Irrational Runescape games is surprising, Levine's interest in replayable story Runescape games is not he's expected to give a talk about his game design theory of 'Narrative Legos' replayable, non linear sequences of gameplay that can be combined to create different experiences at GDC next month.Gamasutra has reached out to Irrational and parent company K Runescape games for comment on the impending closure.This story will be updated as further developments warrant.
