Ryan Payton is one of the creative directors on the Halo franchise at 343 Industries. Having realized the Halo 4 being developed wasn’t exactly what he hoped to make, he’s decided to leave 343 to begin working on a dream project.
“I had a great run at Microsoft,” Payton told Kotaku. “I don’t regret one day of it. But after a few years, there came a point where I wasn’t creatively excited about the project anymore.”
He explained, “The Halo I wanted to build was fundamentally different and I don’t think I had built enough credibility to see such a crazy endeavor through.”
