It sounds as though Troika is no more, or at any rate they are liquidating everything in their offices, so if they are still coherent as a developer presumably their next game involves sitting in a bare room. Troika (for those of you with a concussion) is the little company that couldn't, producing games of marvelous, unprecedented promise coupled with epic lapses in technical execution. The company was a hole that great ideas crawled half-way out of, so I hope you'll pardon me if I don't dab the corner of my eye with a handkerchief and try to look strong. There were undeniably talented people there. Hopefully they'll end up someplace where that kind of thing matters.
I love Troika with every fiber of my being despite the fact that I had issues with almost every one of their releases (due more in part to publisher pressure than anything else I would assume). Best of luck to you guys wherever you end up; hell, maybe Bethesda is hiring for their Fallout project? That would make me moist.

I'm sure there is more to the presentation, but what they have there is a tech demo with someone elses tech. It's really an art demo. A guy running on the screen around some futuristic junkyard is not going to make a publisher go :
"Shit! get those buckets of money we have laying around, I think we got something here!"
And that sentiment doesn't even begin to address the other 2 huge flaws - RPG and post-apocalyptic. Read my post from August for more on that subject:
