The ”commercially unsustainable” studio has managed to thwart a lynching by administrators, getting snapped up by Slightly Mad Studios instead.
Swapping one crazy name for a now Slighty Mad one, all the projects Blimey! were working on have been given life preservers too, ending ”months of uncertainty and worry”.
”We kept things going as long as possible because of the amazing work the team was doing on our one surviving project and the patience of our publisher,” said Ian Bell, now former director of Blimey! Games.
What has the studio brought to the gaming public? PC’s GTR for one and an impressive kart racer on the way for XBLA and PSN called Kart Attack. The collapse of 10tacle Studios was the mark of the end for the developer.
”However it was commercially unsustainable and it soon became clear that unless decisive action was taken we would lose that. This sale has ended months of uncertainty and worry for all concerned. We can now look forward to the development of our exciting existing and future projects.” What spiffing good news for those chaps.
