Thief, System Shock dev joins Valve
Doug Church leading something new?
Doug Church, the man EA entrusted Steven Spielberg project LMNO with, has joined Valve.
Gamasutra learned that Church had been working with the Half-Life creator for two weeks on an unspecified project.
During his long career, Doug Church has worked on some of video gaming's greats. He's credited on the Ultima, System Shock and Thief series during his long spell at Looking Glass Studios. He then went on to help Crystal Dynamics make Tomb Raider: Legend.
After that, Church joined EA. Project LMNO was binned by EA last year. The game was to be a "very ambitious" action adventure for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Here's hoping for something from Valve in the Thief/System Shock mould.

Church was pretty instrumental in System Shock and Ultima Underworld so I'm sure he'll be one hell of an asset over at Valve, though I'd hope that they use his talents correctly and make something with a little of that System Shock magic, I feel he'd probably be wasted on something like L4D or Half Life.
