JV gonna be on that shit like D-Leazy on Killer Instinct.

Iron Galaxy West.

Adam Boyes, Dave Lang, Johnny V, forming the most powerful studio in the world to bring your the hottest game in the world:

Not Windjammers.

Weird, I assumed that job was sitting in a meeting or two each week, chatting on the phone, and visiting cocaine mountain the rest of the work week.

Really has to feel strongly to get back into the dev side, so I'm kind of excited to see Age of Booty 2.

with the way game development is, i think this may be a rash decision. but if it's what makes him happy then by all means.

Hey, follow your muse Mr. Boyes. Good luck.

Good for him

I wonder if internally he was able to make some sort of deal with Sony in order to support his first go at it or if he's joining another company as a producer. Maybe going indie?

Or...

Wow, it seemed like he had the coolest job in the world. Checking out all these random indie games and making deals with them to put them in the spotlight seems like the kind of thing one would kill to get paid to do. He must really miss making games.

Wow what a surprise, it seemed like he had quite a position on PlayStation, I wonder what he'll be up to next. You go, Boyes!

Good luck to him!

He must feel pretty passionately about going back to being a creative, considering he was once a top dog. Watching his career path the past 8 years or so through GB has been sorta fascinating.

Boyes Lang and Johnny V Roadtrip 2016. It's coming!

Oh shit, this can happen now!

Odd and potentially awesome?

Look forward to seeing his next move.

@spoonman671:

I'll start the kickstarter. Who's in?

Leaving Sony as a VP, damn son. Also no where for him to go to within Sony as a game dev?

Either way very interested in seeing where he ends up and what become of it.

Beefy Media's back, baby.

If I remember the E3 stream, John Drake has the Kickstarter campaign all planned out somewhere in a Google doc or something.

"So after you guys completely shit the bed at Capcom North America, you guys all quit."

Johnny talking to Adam, E3 2010, Day 2

fascinating, let the wild speculation begin!

He had a pretty sweet gig at Sony. I hope he knows what he's doing. Good on him for continuing to follow his dreams, though! He was a good fit with Sony but he'll kick ass anywhere he goes.

Is Johnny V still with Disney? Since they killed Infinity I have no idea what he would be doing cause they don't make games anymore...

Out of curiosity, what has Boye's career trajectory looked like up until this point? I've only known him through GB and a few drunken streams a year levaes a lot of blank spots

Regardless, best of luck to him! He's a great dude and I can't wait to see what he can get up to back in the harsh landscape of game dev.

I don't know about his career but I DO know he sucked my friend's dick at a party in front of at least a dozen guys and girls. It was super awkward.

...? What a lovely first post.

Couldn't quickly find any video from his Midway days so we'll just start with the classic GB video from his time at Capcom. Ahh the old Sausalito basement...

Then there was Beefy Media which unleashed this "masterpiece" upon the world.. They also produced Pid which was apparently decent

Then it was off to Sony to steal a pre-release Playstation 4 and bring it to a porn set

Adam is awesome. I look forward to seeing what he does next!

Fire up the development Winnebago!

I sometimes feel like people in this industry largely just want to work like nomads. At least its not as bad as when people were getting jobs at 1Up/EGM only to be able to get jobs in the game industry.

Adam Boyes is a cool guy, and I hope he gets to do what he wants to do. All the best.

Wheres the John Drake Kickstarter for this?

He probably saw all the backstage chaos with the NEO (come on, this thing had to have been announced at E3?!) and went on his merry way.

But let's wish him all the best, cause development of games is a weird-ass business!

Good luck to him! He has always been one of the most positive presences to have graced the site and I wish him best!

Best of luck to Mr. Boyes, and I wish him well in his endeavors whatever they may be! I mean... it's game dev, but like... whatever the game may be. World Gone Sourer.

It will be interesting to hear what 'going back into development' means in this case and what made him decide to take that step.

Cool! :D

@blu3v3nom07: It's super sad that some Xbox fansite bothered making a post about that. It's literally just a Twitter goof between Boyes and Charla and Ybarra. It's pretty likely that whatever Boyes ends up working on, it'll be multiplatform.

Good luck to Adam!

@bisonhero: Its super sad that your life will always be bitter, no matter what you do. Its petty, so grow up.

So I saw this news where does that leave Dave Lang he was founder and CEO no? I think Adam Boyes is a great CEO for Iron Galaxy as they continue to pursue more publishing opportunities.

I just realised that Adam Boyes is repping Killer Instinct now. So weird!

Oh god...

Now they just need Vignocchi to complete the Triforce.

Adam becoming CEO is pretty dope, but will Johnny V coming to I to the G? Might be really cool too.

Does this mean that the board will allow Lang to drink on camera again?

"Guys, its been six years since I hired you and all we've done is drink."

This VentureBeat article says

At Iron Galaxy, Boyes replaces founder Dave Lang as the top executive, but Lang will continue to oversee all prototypes and business development. And Chelsea Blasko, the director of product development, will serve as chief product officer at the studio. Lang said in an interview that he and Blasko will continue to run the existing business, such as work-for-hire projects, and Boyes will add new businesses on top of that.

“I am relinquishing the title of CEO, but I am not going anywhere,” Lang said.

Think they'll let him eat his Canadian cereal at the company?
