FASA Interactive and Virtual World Entertainment, another company created by FASA Corp founders Jordan Weisman and L. Ross Babcock, became wholly owned subsidiaries of Virtual World Entertainment Group (VWEG).  In 1999, Microsoft Corporation purchased VWEG to acquire the talent at FIT and the intellectual properties of FASA Corp and '''FASA Interactive''' then became a '''FASA Studio''', a component of Microsoft Studios along with Heat and the talent and intellectual property at FIT. 

Here, Heat began work on '''Mechwarrior 4''', '''Allegiance''', and '''Crimson Skies''' as the lead concept artist and illustrator as he created vehicle and character concepts as well as environment concepts, oversaw the conceptual design team, and made sure the design criteria of the Art Director were met. He maintained production schedule for the concept art team provided by the Lead Concept Artist and/or the Art Director and provided the Art Director and Art Production team with valuable ideas and visual concepts aiding in the pre-visualization of the project including game-level environments, characters, and vehicles. He produced complete illustrations setting the mood and overall art direction of the finished product before its actual completion, complete Book Cover and Magazine Cover Illustrations that announced the game to the public.
