A bunch of guys from Rare came back a few years ago, many of them having worked on classics like GoldenEye and Perfect Dark, with their own engine and game designs but hit a stumbling block when it came to getting governmental support apparently. I don’t know the full details but I remember it was to do with Enterprise Ireland, company size and location. Most of the lads are now either back in the UK or working in various animation/vis houses around Ireland.
As I say I’m not concrete on the details, maybe someone else can shed some light here?
[/quote:d3723b649d]Yeah Pete, I vaguely remember something about that. I think they had a website, but they had no presence on GD.ie, so I have no idea of the details :-/
Maybe they wanted to set up in Dublin…that seems to be a big ‘no-no’ for getting funding.
