It seems that Timothy Cain, programmer, Boss during Fallout development, later co-founder of Troika, started a video channel with memories and narrated notes he has taken during development of many games he worked on such as: Falouts 1,2, Pillars of Eternity, Outer Worlds, Tyranny, Temple of Elemental Evil, Vampire Masquarade Bloodlines and finally Arcanum.

He seems to be very passionate about games he worked on and recently started to poke on some of these.
In one of his more recent videos he mentions that he owns source code of Arcanum, he does not own the rights (Microsoft does, since they bought Activision), so he can't release sequel nor even a patch to Arcanum.

That being said he has also shared his idea of updating the Arcanum, compiling it for Windows 10, spending a week on ironing out the errors due to modern Win. He is thinking about fixing bugs, balancing and features he was intending to add did not make it before release.

Troika And Kickstarter: What If?


What do you think? Is there a chance with Microsoft now being in charge that this can get some traction? I mean remake and sequel?
