Apparently art director Jason Minor and design director Brad Prince suddenly caught fire, both later this month and development is now in complete chaos. In a series of meetings that took place throughout July, two Aspyr executives told developers that the project needed a break as the company looked for new people to keep the business going.

The project immediately seemed like a big leap in quality for Aspyr, which until then had specialized above all in porting and development support. It recently got help from Saber Interactive, but it doesn’t seem to have been enough to fix the issues, at least according to reports from Bloomberg.
