Live in Austin and work two blocks from Bluepoint. My condolences to the entire Bluepoint team. I'm a huge fan of theirs and Andy did such great work. May he rest in eternal peace.

Damn...Metroid Prime is my favorite game of all time, to see another of its creators pass is a tragedy. 47 is far too young to go...

RIP... his resume speaks for itself. So sad :(

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

So sad. Wasn't he the guy who programmed Prime's morph ball physics?

Click to shrink...

If so, he created one of the greatest mechanics in modern gaming and THE best gameplay conversion from 2D to 3D ever, IMO.
