Twisted Pixel's Dan Teasdale Departs Studio
Today on Twitter, designer Dan Teasdale announced that he was leaving the Comic Jumper and Ms. Splosion Man studio. Most recently, Teasdale has captured the imaginations of gamers with his Super Drake Tracker 2000 EX, which monitors the movements of Harmonix director of communications and brand management John T. Drake across the country.
If this sounds like an April Fools' day joke (as it did to us when we first learned of it), you'll be surprised to learn that there is a Kickstarter campaign for the project. The $550 goal was obliterated early on, and the earnings stand at over $10,000 right now. Teasdale announced the departure on Twitter.
Today's my last day at Twisted Pixel Games. What's next? STAY TUNED! tmblr.co/ZUzwSwiWuHj5

He also posted a statement on his Tumblr, stating of his next career that, "It’s exciting and scary, which is exactly the kind of thing I love burying myself in." We wish Teasdale the best in his life beyond Twisted Pixel (which is running an amazing deal on four of their games right now).

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
