Quoted from Rarehero:My heart breaks for Penni.
I've been friends with Penni for decades and there isn't a sweeter, nicer human on the planet. I am totally gutted for her in this, they really were soulmates. What a tragic loss.
Quoted from docquest:Im sure its not finished yet, but I hope he and Josh were far enough along that Josh can finish or guide other coders to acheive what Lyman had envisioned for the game.
I mean, not to be insensitive at this horrible time and talk about shit that doesn't matter in the face of this tragic loss, but one of Lyman's great gifts was the "final 20%" tweaks he did that transformed games from great to Hall of Fame worthy, and that was only possible after it had been out for a bit and the rough edges found. He won't be around to do those tweaks.
That said, although this is a great tragedy for the hobby, it is moreso for his family and for Penni. I'd rather focus on that.
