Romier S Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Recent report on Gamespot indicates that Argonaut is out of money and slowly running out of options. The developers of SWAT, I-Ninja, Carve, and Powerdrome has had trading of its shares halted due to it's financial trouble. You can read the full report here: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/10/15/news_6110667.html Argonaut did not excel at making the killer app level of game that the general masses just eat up, but what they have released over the past year has been very enjoyable and pleasure for me to play. Powerdrome was well done and instantly playable. Carve was just a hoot for the time we spent online with it. The single player mode was also fun and considering its budget price, it was a steal. I-Ninja was criminally overlooked as it had a ton of great gameplay potential and was just downright fun to play. It would be unfortunate to see them close thier doors.

dogbert Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 About half the development staff were laid off this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFo Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 That's sad to hear. I also enjoyed I-Ninja quite a bit and hate to see the studio behind it in financial trouble. Here's hoping they turn things around soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogbert Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Not a good day for the UK development scene, seems another studio is closing too, but it hasn't been formally announced yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
