This blog is a summary of 2008 – in three increasingly depressing parts.Īt the start of the year we had a whole raft of projects to keep us busy. There was only one bit of good news – that we survived the whole year without laying anybody off or closing the company. This time nobody laughed, and there was no applause.īy all accounts, 2008 was a disastrous year for Introversion, characterised by an incredibly positive start and a noticeable increase in ambition, but not a single genuine success throughout the whole year. After a tough year, the future was bright.Ī year later at the end of 2008 at the Introversion Christmas dinner, and Mr Morris again silenced the room and gave his annual speech: “See last year’s speech”. We had multiple projects in development and opportunities opening up all around us, we would finish and release everything we were working on, and we’d grow Introversion along the way and take on even more great projects. To much applause and laughter, we agreed 2008 would be the year we corrected that problem, and all the hard work we’d done in 2007 would pay off in 2008. We didn’t launch any existing projects or start any new projects – it was a year of on-going work, with little to break up the limbo.
December 2007, at the Introversion Christmas dinner, Mark Morris gave a speech to the team in which he stated that the year just gone had been a totally crap year, because we didn’t do anything.
