Age of Conan Producer and Game Director Resigns
Funcom has announced that a new Producer and Game Director has been appointed for their MMORPG Age of Conan.
There appears to have been a few disagreements over the direction Funcom's Age of Conan was taking and Gaute Godager, the game's Producer and Game Director, has resigned stating there are "elements which I am dissatisfied with". Godager was one of the Funcom founders and has been with the company for sixteen years,
With the resignation of Godager, Funcom are pulling from their experience with Anarchy Online and Craig Morrison has become the new Producer and Game Director. Previously Craig Morrison worked as Producer and Game Director on Anarchy Online.
“Taking on the position as Producer and Game Director on Age of Conanis a great challenge but also one I welcome. I have a clear conviction I can lead the further development in a good way, evolving Age of Conan into something even better. My main priority now is therefore to listen to, and act on, player concerns, while ensuring we add additional great content to the game,” said Craig Morrison. “At heart I will always be a gamer, and the coming changes and additions to Conan will always be done with the gamers in mind. Together I am certain we will shape an amazing future for Age of Conan.”
It appears that there has been issues at Funcom as Gaute Godager resigned from his post today and issuing a full statement:
"I have done my very best making this fabulous game, but I have concluded there are elements which I am dissatisfied with. I have decided to acton this, and as a result I have chosen to leave Funcom. It is time to get new, fresh eyes on Age of Conan, and I wholeheartedly support the appointment of Craig. I have had a fantastic time these last 16 years,and I am very proud of the many things Funcom has achieved. Funcom and Conan will always be a big part of me, but as I now look to new ventures outside the gaming industry I am certain Age of Conan’s future is in the best of hands.”
