Venksta runs
Renderform. And by runs, I guess I mean IS. From his statements, I have a feeling he's collaborated with FP on something, but no idea which piece.
If I recall correctly, Pharaohtron and the Orion stuff from the City Commander comic were borrowed from his fiction. Although... considering that FP hasn't used his fiction since, and his answers don't really give away anything that we didn't know or could guess... I have to question if there is still any actual connection between the two.
Not that I'm specifically calling him a liar, just being a bit skeptical. *shrug*
I didn't know about the connection to FP via the collectables shop that was mentioned by kirbenvost, or the fiction, but Venksta has done some 3d modelling for FP in the past. I get the impression he is occasionally bought in to design the odd part here and there for FP and maybe to give feedback on some of their designs.
Anyway, he knows what he's talking about, but he's not a direct part of FansProject.
Crossfire03 sounds interesting and confusing - sounds like it wasn't going to be Devy, but now it may be? But again, I didn't think FP were going to do Devy as TFC has it covered. Confused!

Haha classic. Prepare for that nuclear bullet to the man-vegetables!
