Sandbox Studios announced

Steve Bergenholtz, co-founder of Utopia Technologies, has announced the formation of Sandbox Studios, a Texas-based software development company. The new studio will develop entertainment software for the PC, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and Nintendo Game Boy systems using the company’s proprietary technology. Its upcoming software titles will fall into several genres including kids, adventure, sports and educational. Sandbox is currently pursuing two patents to protect its innovative and groundbreaking technologies.

For January 1999, this is the business side of gaming doing what it always does: studios forming, publishers moving money around, lawsuits flying, and everyone promising the next big thing. Somewhere in that mess, players eventually get the games. Maybe.
