I’m also the new Community Manager for the Company of Heroes franchise. I’ve been helping out with some COH related things for a while now, and I’ve been a fan of the series long before I joined Relic. Needless to say, I’m stoked to be taking on the role!
Poor soul...
There’s a lot on the cards for 2018, and we’re going to be focused on communicating more clearly with our players, and working more closely with the community.
I can’t say more just yet, but I’m super excited for what’s to come.
Stahp. Delete that. The most dreaded word i can ever read on this industry after "Soon™".
Godspeed for our new punching forum bag, firefighter , bomb defuser, Community manager.
Every job position has two options. If you are not paid much you usually do what you are told. If you are paid well, you have the option of growing the position to your vision of what it can be. Management expects you to be professional and driven. It is a chance for you to fatten your resume and prove your worth. Andy has proven he has the skills to get things done. Lets hope he is paid well so he can really branch out.
Just doesn't tell me that they put dow 3 team with Brent Disbrow as game director on coh 3. I will be very rage if this true, because dow 3 was abomination that I want regret forever.

Game Director on an exciting unannounced strategy game, the kind that Relic Entertainment does best! Currently working with an excellent team to build a creative vision, game pillars and the feature set. Lots of engaging, fun work to be done and great people to do it with.
This year, we finished off Dawn of War III, the next chapter in the excellent franchise. Was the Lead Campaign Designer on the game as well as driving forward the Enemy Experience for both SP & MP. Working with a bunch of really talented devs, the project was a great learning experience and I'm proud of what we shipped.
Reality vs wishful thinking / Red Pill vs. Blue Pill
Brent Disbrow "boasting" about the Relic success of DoW3 and his new promotion on linkedin.
Favoritism or professionalism? Time will tell if this works out great.
I'm not convinced Brent is working on CoH3. As Brent's primary designer experience are with mobile/console games, not PC games. But there were many weird inconsistency/discrepancy with DoW3 recruitment from a PC gamer perspective. So who knows.
Go compare CoH1 recruitment with DoW3 and you'll understand what I mean. http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/company-of-heroes/credits
The CoH1 team was filled with talent from top to bottom.
It's not the first time in Relic history, where the studio grew to fast.
the DoW3 campaign was total shite, it was worse than the multiplayer. This is not a good look from the studio.
However if I go in with low expectations I wont get disappointed, he does mention that making dow3 was a good learning experience though. Let hope they learn a lot about DoW3 for their future games.
