      Hi all,

      Kapooki are now an approved Xbox development studio!

      We will keep you posted on our progress – expecting a good ECTS.

      Cheers,
      Michael.

      Congrats on getting that, I’m sure you’ll be able to find some talented (Irish) people when you kick off development.

      This news was posted a good while ago. Does anyone know what Kapooki are currently up to? Have they yet to start production on a Xbox game? I certainly haven’t heard of any news to suggest that they have.

      Thanks.

      Kapooki are in production of one of their titles – PC and PS2 release (Xbox release may be announced later – still to be decided!). Further news when its appropriate.

      Cheers,
      Mike.

      It’s good to hear that Kapooki are continuing to expand.

      Out of curiosity, is it known how many people they now employ?

      Thanks.

      Hi Ronny,

      Currently its 10 full-time employees with a further 3 to 4 part-timers / contractors (depending on what we are doing).

      We are aiming to expand up to 19/20 full-time developers by the end of March beginning of April 04.

      Cheers,
      Mike.

      Hi Aphra,

      Thanks very much for your best wishes! My wife Jasmine and our daughter Myla-Ling are both doing great. Myla-Ling has already figured out how to run rings around me!

      Now I have around 13 years to find a big wicked dog and a lie detector….

      Anyone out there who has a contact in relation to getting either of these items…. please let me know! :)

      Regards,
      Mike.

      Hi Mark,

      Thanks for your best wishes – hopefully 2004 will prove very successful for both Torc and Kapooki!

      Lets all keep up the good work!

      Regards,
      Mike.
