Could be; I'm not privy to that information. And you are correct that prior to the project she was (at least, primarily) a CG creator. Maybe she expressed interest but was reticent to work on it at first because she didn't feel like working on someone else's project. I have no evidence for this or anything, but if that were true, maybe RomanHume didn't get any other takers (or at least, none he liked) and her becoming dev lead was a condition he agreed to. It might have been like a, "At least something will happen" type of deal. It's difficult to say.I meant before LLL came to be, she was supposed to be just that. Pretty sure Roman was desperate to find people willing to work on rendering CGs for DAST (others in the forum can't help him at that point) until he landed on Meep.
I just find it weird that the person he hired to help visualize his vision into reality ended up becoming the lead of another project, a spiritual successor at that, while the original creator just sat back as its script writer. There has to be something going on behind the scene that made them decide to just start a new game instead of continuing DAST.
Oh, and BTW: I think I remember at least one other thing Romie did on the project. I'm pretty sure he coded most / all of the game, since that wasn't in Meep's wheelhouse. At least, I think that's what I read at one point.
