According to Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment Studio Head Dan Elggrens' personal family blog, he is leaving Stargate Worlds and heading to Gazillion Entertainment, the company that owns NetDevil and plans to bring Marvel MMOs to life, on June 1. The blog entry was posted in a thread on the Stargate Worlds message board.

"The last 8-9 months have been really rough at Dan's work and we've been trying so hard to make it work. Over 100 employees have left since October, so Dan felt he was as loyal as he possibly could be considering that he was basically volunteering for work and not getting paid!" the blog post stated.

CME responded on the forums: "While we are saddened by Dan’s departure, we believe that Stargate Worlds will benefit from this unforeseen change. Dan’s guidance has been crucial to getting Stargate Worlds to this point, but we believe fresh eyes may find ways to improve the game moving forward. We wish to express our appreciation to Dan for all he has done for our company and wish him the best of success in his new endeavors. Dan will be transitioning his responsibilities to Rod Nakamoto, senior vice president of product development, over the next week."

What does this mean for Stargate Worlds, a game that has been strapped with financial woes? Only time will tell, but in the meantime, you can check out four new screenshots that were just released of interior and exterior environments on the planet Menfa.
