Timeline Studios Formed

Michael Crichton, best-selling author and director, today revealed the formation of Timeline Studios, whose goal is to develop and distribute the next generation in computer gaming software.

Timeline Studios Formed is moving on the business side today, because apparently the games industry cannot go five minutes without someone buying, signing, or reorganizing something. Michael Crichton, best-selling author and director, today revealed the formation of Timeline Studios, whose goal is to develop and distribute the next generation in computer gaming software. This will be accomplished by combining Crichton’s creative talents with new and cutting-edge technology, called OpenSpace 3D, developed by Virtus Corporation, Cary, N.C. The results of this venture will be the creation of a new line of action-packed, immersive 3D computer games, which will establish new standards for realism and interactivity. The software titles, scheduled for release next year, will be distributed via CD-ROM and DVD.

It may not be the same thrill as a fresh demo, but this stuff shapes what actually reaches players. Boring paperwork today can turn into games on shelves tomorrow.
