No, this has nothing to do with thespecial “attachments” we told you about earlier.
FormerNaughty Dog employeesJason Hughes and Andrew Gilmour have formed a new company calledSteel Penny Games, and theTexas-based outfit is currently developing a WiiWare title.
We don’t know anything about this title other than it“blends a challenging puzzle game with dramatic fantasy environments and appealing characters,” and that they hope this will become a multi-game franchise. We should expect to see this title in mid-2008.
The Steel Penny guys seem to dig the whole WiiWare concept, saying that“It allows the risk burden to shift back onto the creative developers.”
I’ll tell you what I dig: a downloadable title that has the goal of becoming a franchise, and not some quick, cheap way to make money. I hope they manage to pull it off. Best of luck, Steel Penny Games.
