Sega purchased Demiurge, the Boston-based developer behind Shoot Many Robots and Marvel Puzzle Quest. Also in this episode, I touch on trolling, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and preparing to be ready to upgrade your platform. I also share which headset works really well for me when I game on Xbox One using the chat adapter. Lots of other news, consider this the news roundup show from this day forth. Thanks for listening.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
