AM2R dev gets hired at Moon Studios

A year ago, a fan project came out of the woodworks to appease Metroid fans, who were starved for new content. Titled AM2R, the fangame was a remake of the GameBoy game, Metroid II. Of course, shortly after the game was made available online, Nintendo struck it down, with a DMCA. Not much was heard afterwards, until of course, Nintendo announced their own official Metroid II remake. However, AM2R's Twitter had an interesting revelation, today. The developer of the fangame has been offered a job, at Moon Studios, the ones who created the highly successful Metroidvania game, Ori and the Blind Forest. They will be working as a level designer for the upcoming Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Though AM2R didn't have a happy ending, it goes to show that companies are willing to give dedicated fangame makers a chance in the professional industry.

Yay! Sucks he got hit with a CnD, but now he's official. :D
A loss for a very nice promotion.
Totally worth it at this point :D

This is how companies should be handling fan devs. If they show that they know what they are doing and have the dedication, they would make a valuable member of their team

Shame of what happened with A2MR. So, it's great to hear he didn't get completely screwed over for his work.
