Scary Fish Ltd. announced as a
new independent UK development company.
Liverpool, Merseyside, June 1, 2004 – Scary Fish Ltd. was
unveiled today as a new independent games company, based in
the North West of England.
The company was originally established in 2001 as Thalamus
Interactive Ltd, specialising in entertainment software for
the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance systems; the company
released a number of successful titles on those platforms.
Scary Fish represents a shift in focus for the company, and
has been established to capitalise on industry changes over
the last 12 months, not least the sheer diversity of gaming
platforms and the continuing trend of larger Publishers and
Developers outsourcing more of their workload.
“Scary Fish is not strictly a developer in the formal sense,
more a resource point for those looking to outsource,” stated
Managing Director Andy Roberts. “We’ve always favoured the use
of highly experienced freelancers and satellite teams – now we
can put that network to use and offer a one-stop service to
Publishers and Developers. Essentially, we can focus on the
smaller details as well as the larger picture.”
Such is their broad talent base, Scary Fish are able to offer
a wide variety of services to clients. “We can handle any
aspect of product development for any platform,” added
Roberts, “from game design and concept approval, through to
localisation, QA, marketing, and often-neglected follow up
materials such as strategy guides.”
The company is already working on a number of projects for
mobile and next-generation platforms, and already has plans to
open a studio in Canada later this year.
Publishers and Developers interested in discussing potential
projects or strategic alliances should contact Managing
Director Andy Roberts on +44 (0) 1744 605 960, or via email
at: andy@scaryfish.tv
