Industry Veterans Form New Video Game Development Studio
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Three longtime video game
industry veterans announce the creation of TimeFly Studios, an independent
video game development company. Brad Ruminer, Dennis Booth, and Glenn
O'Bannon, former employees of Rainbow Studios, will be developing games based
on licensed property as well as original game concepts from action/adventure
to rhythm games to puzzle games.
The studio will focus on addressing the issue of quality of life for its
employees. "We have industry-standard pay and benefits plus some perks right
now that very few small companies can provide," said Glenn O'Bannon, vice
president. "And one of our founding principles is to maintain a fun family
atmosphere no matter how big we get. We want people to have a blast working
here!"
"It's important for today's games to look and sound amazing, but looks
alone aren't enough. Our games will focus on gameplay first, to be supported
and enhanced by spectacular visuals and audio," said Dennis Booth, president.
On the issue of quality of life, he added "Design-oriented development with
proper project management will allow us to develop games on-time and
on-budget, while minimizing the long term 'crunch' periods traditionally
associated with game development."
While at Rainbow Studios, the founders contributed to the development of
games such as Motocross Madness, ATV Offroad Fury, Splashdown, and most
recently the MX vs. ATV, and Disney/Pixar Cars video games. The founders have
a combined development experience of over 30 years as engineers, artists,
designers, managers and directors.
TimeFly Studios is licensed for development by Sony, Microsoft, and
Nintendo.
