Dynamix in the house! I actually lived next door to Jeff Trunnel back in the day. I remember meeting him and when he found out I was into video game he invited me over back to see Rise of the Dragon, which was in development at the time. Few years later I hit him up for a job in the QA dept when I was college and transiting into the art dept. Eventually ended up being one of the mocap guys (Hi Troy!) until the implosion where they moved the whole studio up to Bellevue.

Brian Wright Thank you for Willy Beamish!

Thank you for this edition, MJR. It was totally nostalgic, a great time, and made me feel as if I was apart of it all Ken Williams letter to his employees had so much pain in it. I felt he wrote that letter, disheartened and with so much disappointment. His words denoted he cared about that company, his employees, and the product. I also appreciate Drunken Master Paul's presence. You know, we live in uncertain times, which is not a statement anew. This leads me to believe, perhaps, that is life... certainty. However, knowing that makes me want to just enjoy the ride even more. Meeting good people and creating positive memories along the way, a lot like what you and Drunken Master discussed. Of course, having to experience a layoff is an awful feeling, however, you still have to keep moving forward. At least, that is the lesson I am walking away with after tuning in to this exceptional retrospective. Anyway, thanks again and I would love to see another walk down memory lane. Peace

The Future is multi platform titles, released on proven gaming engines, by multiple studios for one producer, Ubi, EA or other big producer. Rest all release low budget titles on steam or other low budget platforms. Are you willing to work for one of these studio's, then just react, they need skilled people that are willing to work 80 hours a week!!!!!!!!

lucas rem dude, what the hell did you think I'm talking about? this is IT archaeology, and this is a critical part of it that we need to extract from the sources before they (or their memories) are lost to time. all I want is for them to keep talking about this subject. And in case you didn't know, Unreal engine is slow under the hood. Looks pretty, but no Sanic speed. It's also a little bottlenecked in its environmental dynamism, largely also due to runtime speed. In the gaming world it's not all about using the latest and greatest engine. What about the emotive storytelling of Undertale, the sheer lunacy of Paradigm, the rats nest of performance that is the Minecraft engine? If you get too wrapped up in the wrong thing, you can forget what matters most. Like what happened to Sierra.

You asked for the Future, well do you get it now? but still you talk about yesterdays junk, why? Mind craft is especially not the future, I cant read all that shit, but not the Future.

Yes, the code is well documented, but you can't get bleeding fast load speeds of resources. You're not letting me answer, there doesn't HAVE to be a "better engine", it all depends on your applications "Mind craft"? The "Future" has to always be capitalized. Really? Get off of your iPad. Why are you talking about this on a video of guys reminiscing about THEIR PAST WITH A DEAD COMPANY? You act like a damn bot. This is supposed to be history and nostalgia, not this dumb "oh, the Future is now, old man, get with the times, grandpa, look at me as jack off to my 90's edginess with the articulation of a worldwide weenie" show you're giving us.

You, MJR and Dave are some of the luckiest people on the planet. When I was a kid, I dreamed of working at Sierra. I watched all the cool behind the scenes footage that came with the various collections, and as a young child in the mid 1990s, Sierra seemed like an interactive form of Disneyworld. Ken Williams was like, the Walt Disney of MY childhood if that makes any sense - mustache and all. You had all these cool, long haired, metal people making these awesome games. I'm sure some days sucked, but it really seems, from this video, like working at Sierra was an experience more than it was a job. Like, Sierra was the Woodstock of video games. Anyway, I would also like to say thank you, MJR and Dave for your contributions to my childhood. And thank you to all Sierra alumni who might read my message - all of you rock.

Ken Williams rarely talks about Sierra anymore, but I remember reading an interview he did where he put a lot of the blame for Sierra getting caught up in Cendent on himself. He had been looking for a way to go to "the next level, but I was a programmer, not a businessman" and didn't dig deep enough into Cendent's background. It's too bad when folks who are real artists get swindled. Side note: Ken and Roberta are now big into yachting around the world. Ken even wrote a book about it.

Thanks so much!

The best sign of good content is when you watch an hour of it, and it feels like 5 minutes. Great work. From my end I mixed with a couple of UK companies back in the day. The biggest one being Activision. I remember going to the launch of Little Computer People when money was no object.. Good times.

Been avoiding this video for a long time because of the length. What a mistake that turned out to be, this is pure gold!

Awesome video. It reminded me of Dr. Radiaki, a Doom clone my parents got me for Christmas when I was like 8 years old, and it required 8MB of ram. I had a 486sx25 with 4MB and to make it run a friend of my father working in the IT of a bank show me once how to start Windows 3.1 in repair mode without loading all services. It was a long list of questions to answer and after a bit of trial and error we managed to run the game by freeing up memory occupied by OS processes otherwise . It was amazing, after waiting for the whole Christmas Day and the day after without being able to play with my gift, finally having the game run was more fun than the game itself. That's how I got into IT i think.

Cool story, bro. For the record, that's the first time I've typed that phrase in a non-sarcastic way.

great photos/videos and great stories, thank for that :-D and pls let it go on

Thank You for the info, very much enjoyed it. I was a child growing up with Sierra, being my #1 gaming company.The imagination and possibilities the company provided was amazing, to a young child. Being able to experience the their world, of games, and day dreaming of the content on the store shelves. It is epic to see the other side with your shared behind the scenes experiences. TY!

Very cool. I enjoy it when you give us all this insight.

I love hearing about your glory days! It's always fun hearing about someone's past and learning from it and taking advice. I guess that's why I love reading biographies! Cool episode!! Love the podcast format 😊😊

One of the best videos you have done. I remember playing lots of Sierra games back in the day and I have ALWAYS Wondered what happened to one of the greatest game companies to have ever existed. Thank you for being so extensive and not just doing a 5 minute video. I now completely understand and it does suck #ripsierra. Great company, they are sorely missed. #youguysrock
