Does Anyone know what happened to Randy Estrella and Danny Lewis

[LadyMistDragon]

For this, my 666th post, I have one question.

 

You'll probably recognize the names Randy Estrella and Danny Lewis as being Doom 64 level designers. The trouble is, they both seem to have disappeared into the ether, with Estrella last known to have worked at Microsoft Game Studios a decade and a half ago with Lewis likely leaving the industry entirely (the only Dan Lewises I could find both entered the industry much too recently for them to  be him). I guess it's easy to see why Russell Meakim and Arya Iwakura both have Twitter presences since I think they're a little younger, but does anyone know what happened to them? (and shit, I'm not even sure if Tim Heyadaal is still an Everquest II art director since the last thing mentioning him there is in 2013).

Heydelaar was posting here a few years ago and giving us some more Doom 64 info. He does have an account here (@Hyde), but he's since slipped back into the ether himself.

 

You might be able to find some answers in his posts from then.

This seems to be the fate of Doom 64 developers, floating in and out of the void! :D

Maybe make a void map commemorating doom 64 developers? Basically a map played entirely out of bounds, in the void xd
