ELIXIR STUDIOS WINDING DOWN
29/04/2005 - Independent British game developer Elixir Studios has announced that it is to shut its doors, following the cancellation of a "high-risk" project that was being developed for a major US publisher.
The London-based studio was dedicated to the creation of original IP. Its two published games, the political sim Republic: The Revolution, and most recently, the strategy title Evil Genius, have received mixed critical reception. Demis Hassabis, founder and Chairman comments: "It seems that today's games industry no longer has room for small independent developers wanting to work on innovative and original ideas. Perhaps there is no longer any need for them. However, this was the sole purpose of setting up Elixir and something we could never compromise on by going down the licensing route." (via GAMEHOTEL)
