Cloud Imperium Games announces they've opened a new studio in Frankfurt, the
hotbed of CryENGINE development, to further support creation of
Star
Citizen, their upcoming space combat game. Here's the plan:
Cloud
Imperium™ Games (CIG), the creators of the first person universe space
simulator, Star Citizen™, formally announced today the opening of its newest
development office in Frankfurt, Germany. Managed by CIG’s Foundry 42 Ltd. in
Manchester, the Frankfurt office is comprised of some of the top engineers,
artists and designers in Europe, many of whom had responsibility in creating the
engine technology, CryEngine, which is the foundational framework for Star
Citizen.
“These are some of the top game developers in this part of the world,” said
CIG’s co-founder and creative director, Chris Roberts. “We are extremely pleased
to have them on our team and working with CIG in all aspects of creating Star
Citizen. Their experience in working on CryEngine will pay huge dividends for us
in the very near future. Some of their contributions are already showing up in
in our single player game, Squadron 42, and our first person shooter elements.”
The new Foundry 42 office sits on the western side of Frankfurt in a new
business complex close to the city’s convention center and shopping district.
There currently are 21 people on the team, but that number is expected to
increase to 50 by the end of the year. Cloud Imperium’s job listings, including
