What have Panzer Dragoon developers worked on since Orta?

Continuing the discussion from the petition topic, let’s use this topic to discuss notable works that former Team Andromeda and Smilebit members have worked on since Panzer Dragoon Orta’s release. We know that a number of them worked on Crimson Dragon. But what else?

According to Sega Retro, the non-sports members of Smilebit joined Amusement Vision which went on to become the New Entertainment R&D Dept after the Sammy merger, before becoming Sega CS1 in 2008.

I don’t have much to share with you here but I am very interested in what you will say.

I wonder if those people could ever work together again, if their relations are still good.

Cedric mentioned that it 's been done for Shen Mue 3, apparently they managed to get 80% of the original staff back on SM3.

Sorry for the digression, please let us know if you have info as per Solo post :+1:
