GAMER: Blue Omega is a developer that many of our readers may not be familiar with. Can you give us a little background about the company?
Jacob Minkoff: We're basically just a bunch of gamers who decided to try to make a business out of what we love.
Blue Omega is a cross-media company that develops both films and videogames. We started out as a small group of like-minded creative professionals who wanted to get into the entertainment business. Through our early films and our work putting together a UT2k4 mod (Damnation: Hell Breaks Loose), we got a handle on the production process and now we're bringing out our first game: Damnation."
We don’t finish it, but we’re finished with it.
We feel pretty damned in this steampunk shooter.
This Week on Digital Fiasco: Gearing up for PSX 2016, Duke Nukem (Who wants some?), Nintendo quashes VGA nominations for fan games, Square-Enix hates sharing. Also we take No Man’s Sky down to the Foundation, and talk about the new 1.1 patch and the end of Sean Murray’s long silence, but first, we discuss being buried under our backlogs on Black Friday. All of that and more on this episode of Digital Fiasco.
