Former Transmission Games staff open "Trickstar Games"

[HtccLegend]

Members of the recently deceased Transmission Games, developer of Heroes Over Europe, have apparently started Trickstar Games. Develop reports that several former members of Transmission, including studio head Tony Parkes, have started the new studio in Prahran, Australia.

The company's website claims it is currently working on "a number of exciting new games." It also says there are some it can talk about now ... but we don't see any titles. We're currently following up for more details.

The Ashes Cricket series is owned by Codies not by Transmission.

If I could tell you exactly what I meant by that, then I would say it directly. But you'll have to put up with joining the dots here, in other words I'm not in a position to confirm anything.

Doesn't really apply in this case. Commercially, AC2009 was a raging success.

If Jamie Firth has anything to do with it, then it should be named "Trickster Games". And by trickster, I mean shyster.

He worked for Codemasters so no. My information is that he has now left.

Thanks for that information. Comes as good news to me.

 

[pcfan123]

No mercy eh Oz.

Lol @ lc, rarely posts but if anyone says anything negative about Codies he comes rushing out of the darkness

 

[MattW]

It could.

Considering how quickly the news of IC010 came out after posting this, giving a proper answer probably wouldn't have mattered.

It will be interesting just how much Transmission IP that the new company has, it wasn't just Ashes Cricket that they were working on when they collapsed. They certainly won't survive on the back of a Cricket game being their major game.
