Погиб Docent Picolan

The Professor was the epitome of enthusiasm. I can confidently say that I was inspired by his example and the entire Hota project. He was a rare example of a truly idealistic and non-commercial person. The Professor dedicated a significant part of his life to a project from which he gained nothing tangible. I wasn't close to him, but I observed his communication style and heard what others said about him. His tragic death is a great loss for the entire community, and, of course, for the Hota project. We must remember the example he set and honor his memory. I believe that the project will continue, but a sense of loss will remain. Every major modder and content creator should take note of the principles that the Professor followed. After all, he worked for us and for the immortal Heroes. I was lucky to see this news late, when the project wasn't as active. I even took it somewhat unemotionally. But I still couldn't escape the feeling of emptiness... What happened? Was it an accident or someone's negligence? It's always heartbreaking when a creative person dies in a traffic accident. It seems they are strangely prone to it, even historically. It's a nightmare, of course. I feel sorry for the entire Hota team. Many of them probably knew the Professor from the very beginning and lost not just a project leader. I won't even mention his family.
