Well, I believe Harry had said, some time after the Risen 3 announcement, that they had already begun the pre-development of their next title, which is to be expected, otherwise they'd have a lot of story designers and artists with nothing to do while the programmers wrapped everything up on Risen 3. So if Mike Hoge is not actually there anymore, that means... we have two new things to look forward to!

What riddles me is that Mike Hoge account is not a "Piranha Bytes" one, under his name we can read "ist echt" (is genuine). As Risens forum is hosted by World of Players, maybe Mike Hoge was given a "superuser" status by some admin not related to Risen, and this means that indeed it might be possible that Mike Hoge is working at a new project independent from PB.

That's a good point, actually. I'm glad I checked up on this thread, because I almost uploaded a video presuming that he was working with PB again. The plot thickens...........

Butthurt much? Take a deep breath and count to 10.
Yes, it is a fact, since Mike did not work on Risen 3 at all. PB don't have the manpower to have two different teams working on two different games. Also, judging by the reaction of Harry and Michael Rueve when asked about Mike, we can only assume that he is not there anymore since they wouldn't have a reason not to confirm it if it were true.For the most recent Elex news, the new Piranha Bytes RPG, visit us at World of Elex!!!

Eh, I can't be angry at people who misread my messages. I wasn't bashing anyone, I simply expressed surprise at the circumstances of Mike's post. And in case you missed it, I did clarify that I'm very much interested in his new project. So why would you think I was bashing him? I simply find it strange that he would post here if he's no longer with PB, and him using a brand new account just added to the confusion.

Ore Baron, I'm not sure what makes you think Mike Hoge shouldn't be on World of Players. It's all a public forum, anyway. Why would he be particularly unwelcome? If he ISN'T doing anything with PB anymore, that might explain why he made a new account.

Maybe you're right. I might be looking too hard into this.
I'll back off now.

Things look like he left Piranha Bytes some time ago. But there was no "official" confirmation yet, if you mean that, merely hints und speculations which in addition point towards his departure.
And i can't imagine him being on the company payroll for two years working on a new concept while not being involved in the main project during that time, which was Risen 3."ich hab grad nen thread gelöscht, in dem mangelnde meinungsfreiheit hier im forum angeprangert wird und behauptet wird, wir würden negative kritik unterdrücken."

I'm 100% sure KaiRo is not involved in any current Piranha Bytes project, although in his Kickstarter campaign it is told you can hire him as a composer for video game, so the future is bright on this one.
Also there is a PB Outsourcing Ltd., which might cover Agent Mike Hoge's activities to lay the groundwork for the "life after Deep Silver".

I have the feeling Mike is working with Mattias. It is also 90% a certainty that if Mike is involved, so is Ralf Marczinik, they are very close friends and also have a great working relationship, they are the Yin and Yang of transposing game design into artwork. Kai also offers as a kickstarter reward "barbecue with original PB members". I guess there is a chance he might collaborate in their game. At least I guess they are using Kai's Articy: Draft software.
