I was on the PDS dev team for a while, as a fluff writer. The project's run by this guy named TelQuessir.
It's astounding. He's driven the place into the ground. We've had a staff turnover rate of something like 1200% in the past year. People get sucked in by how awesome it looks, last maybe a month, and then quit in disgust.
Of late, Tel has taken to posting descriptions of his day-to-day experiences in military terms. As far as I can tell, he's completely serious. He thinks he's a tactical genius, confronting impossible situations and triumphing against all odds. "Every night is a battle," he says. Odd thing is, he works in a kitchen.
That said, the older versions of the mod (7.3 and below) are a great deal of fun, but I think I prefer other HW2 mods.
