Steel Penny Games, made up of former Naughty Dog Software employees, have announced their signing with Nintendo into the WiiWare program. They are currently working on a game engine for WiiWare developers as well as their original IP, 'Bruiser & Scratch'.
Official Release:
AUSTIN, TX - Steel Penny Games, an independent Austin, TX-based game developer, announced their acceptance into the Nintendo WiiWare developer stable, and is busy at work on an original IP title set to release in mid-2008. Steel Penny Games states that the upcoming title blends a challenging puzzle game with dramatic fantasy environments and appealing characters for an exceptionally satisfying experience. Other details about the upcoming product are not available at this time.
The company, organized in early 2007 by former Naughty Dog veterans Jason Hughes and Andrew Gilmour, joins the ranks of studios initially focused on digital distribution. Steel Penny Games president Jason Hughes described their strategy as 'the modern equivalent of the garage method for an independent to gain a foothold in the industry-a unique opportunity WiiWare presents that we appreciate.' At Naughty Dog, Hughes was a senior graphics tools engineer, and Gilmour was a senior background artist.
