STRATEGIC STUDIES GROUP TO SPLIT press release

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

After an unequalled 20 years of game making, independent developer Strategic Studies Group is to split into two companies.

SSG will remain in Sydney, with foundation members Ian Trout, Roger Keating and Gregor Whiley concentrating on producing the historical strategy games that SSG was originally famous for. The next release from SSG will be Korsun Pocket, an accurate and highly exciting simulation of a desperate battle on the Russian Front in the winter of 1944.

The new company is Infinite Interactive, headed by Steve Fawkner, and centered in Melbourne. As well as Steve Fawkner, creator and designer of the Warlords series, Infinite Interactive comprises almost the entire team that created the critically acclaimed Warlords Battlecry II. SSG will hand over the development of Warlords IV to Infinite Interactive. Warlords IV will be Infinite Interactive?s first release and will be published by Ubi Soft.

The split, which is due solely to the difficult conditions facing independent software developers, is entirely amicable. Both entities will work closely together, and every effort will be made to ensure the continuation of the Warlords series beyond Warlords IV and Warlords Battlecry II.

More details about Infinite Interactive, SSG and their respective projects can be found on their websites:
