Our project is doing an internal move, taking over more of the floor we're on in the Ensemble offices. Now that the War Chiefs is finished, personnel normally juggle around and so we have a good opportunity to reposition ourselves to take on new folks from the xpack and get ready for expanding (we are hiring, by the way). Moving always brings with it chaos, so I'm not sure a lot got done today, but I still enjoy the process. It feels like kind of a clean slate, that some new layout and positioning will break us out of our ruts a little. I'm sure that I'm reading too much into it but I just really like the vibe of when everyone is breaking down and setting up again.
I did find the time to take a quick look at the forums over at the official Halo Wars site. Wow! Hundreds of threads, and just an explosion of interest in the game. It's #1 in popularity over on Gamestop's site, and I'm told the pageviews on the main site are through the roof. Exciting stuff. Ensemble has always had a dedicated fanbase for the Age games that certainly dwarfs anything we had back in the Looking Glass days, but the Halo fanbase is just another order of magnitude beyond that, at least in intensity...
