A huge loss for the Heroes community.
It's incredibly sad. The Professor was an excellent coordinator and composer. And in general, he was one of the best modders in the world, perhaps. A talented and hardworking person. He was. He understood like no other how to create music for new Factions, landscapes, and cities, he had a perfect understanding of the dramaturgy and theory of music, the smooth transitions, cadences, tonics, all of that, so that it would fit harmoniously. He didn't hold back even when dealing with Paul Romero himself.
I spoke with him just 2 weeks ago; we were planning to meet in St. Petersburg in December, and we talked about HotA in general, the forge... and a new Campaign. About 5 years ago, I did QA/QC for HotA Campaigns and wanted to do it for the new one as well. Sigh. I didn't even think I would be so upset by this news. We weren't close, but I valued him very much; there are very few people like him. He worked on HotA with pure enthusiasm for 13 years! Think about that number. He started working on the project in 2007, and HotA as a project was formed in 2008...
In many ways, the Heroes community is what it is today, in part thanks to Pikolan.
RIP, buddy.
