Reich Downfall

Reich Downfall was a first person shooter in the mold of Wolfenstien or Doom but with a large emphasis on environmental destruction.

Reich was the first project I worked on after completing my education, I was placed into a strike team responsible for refitting E3 demo pieces into actual levels as well as white boxing new campaign content.

The game was in many ways ahead of its time with the physics destruction pushing the Xbox 360 and the PS3 to their limit. Unfortunately the game never made it to a commercial release and the included video featuring a quarry I helped refit for gameplay is one of the few remaining traces of it.

DA LINCOLN MEM GETS SHRUNKEN AND ST33D IFIED QUOTE FRM : http://www.develop-online.net/news/36243/Ignition-closes-US-studio Never before seen Reich art from a reliable source an artist who worked on the game. http://www.hostmyjpg.com/i/f107280b54_new_berlin_1.jpg http://www.hostmyjpg.com/i/67478064ee_stepoffscene1.jpg Unfortunately the art director and artist who worked on these resigned from the company when Paul Steed and Exigent an outsource studio were brought in to help with management, this was a disaster Steed was a drunk and abused the employees verbally and physically he was eventually fired by Ignition. The blame falls all on the shoulder of Vijay Chadha ceo of ignition who from the start put a 24 year kid named Jeremy Stieglitz in charge of the whole studio a boy barely out of college who could not even balance his check book let alone a multi-million dollar AAA game. Stieglitz spent millions on getting employees to little s**t land Gainesville Flkorida paying thousands to fly them down for interviews and hiring no talents and giving them outlandish salaries. The biggest mistake of all was when Vijay Chadha CEO with pressure from UTV their parent company and the 60% Disney shareholders suits wanted Ignition to present a premature slice of the game "Reich" to MICROSOFT AND SONY, the visuals werent ready nor the game play as it was all a mess. Chadha who was known to be a defender and friend to the creative spirit bent and got plugged in the ass by the Mouse. In the end 23 million was wasted on poor planning, untalented managers greedy producers and on a game director who was still wiping the milk off his mouth from sucking on his moms tit. Janus by the way was the name of the original hero of the Reich game.
