Just noticed that Superhypercube was announced for Project Morpheus, does anyone know if he is involved in the creation of the game? The game sounds really awesome regardless, just can't help wonder if he is invovled as Fez was so spectacular and I miss Phil's presence so much. :(
Involved in new game?
I don't miss Phil. At all.
You don't get to rage quit the industry twice and keep any degree of credibility. Phil Fish is a clown.
It looked like Polytron was just publishing the game, and if I remember correctly Phil said he was still going to publish them, but not develop any more. So I think he's only involved in a managerial capacity.
The amount of "I don't know, but let me tell you what I think about Phil Fish" responses to every Phil Fish thread is almost hilarious.
As far as I know, he was definitely involved in the creation years ago, back when Fez was still in development. Wouldn't be surprised if he has stopped working on it since, you know. Either way he'd still be responsible for some of it, I guess.

That's odd, it seems like the exact opposite of what I'd think he should be doing. He's a very talented game developer but very obviously absolutely terrible at handling PR things, so getting out of the game development business to focus on publishing, which in large part is PR stuff ...
@fisk0: @quid_pro_bono: I thought he put Polytron up for sale after the hacks, so it sounded to me like he's getting out of even the publishing business.
He didn't seem that bad at publishing, looking at how Fez did. His infamous internet interactions seemed mostly inconsequential to his business.
