Yesterday (8.05.09) G4's Stephen Johnson revealed that the Canadian Game Studio Sarbakan is developing three original titles for Xbox and PC.
During an exclusive interview with Marketing Director Sara Garneau, Stephen revealed that, "Sarbakan's got a couple of casual PC games in beta: A light, browser-based MMO called Star Fever Agency that skewers the entertainment industry by casting players as powerful Hollywood agents tasked with managing the careers of a stable of stars and starlets, and Little Noir Stories: The Case of the Missing Girl, a hidden object game available for PC."
Sarbakan was not ready to provide the title of Sarbakan's Arcade game or any "tangible information, however Garneau assured G4 that a full launch is coming in the first quarter of 2010, and that it will be worth waiting for.
G4 will be unveiling an exclusive video of the new title in action soon.
Go! Gaming Giant recently had a chance to talk to Stéphane Laurin from Sarbakan Game Studio about Lazy Raiders, Little Noir Stories, and other upcoming projects.
An MMO set in the world of celebrities? A casual game about pop stars designed for an older audience? A browser-based title that makes a witty comment on the strange world of the rich and famous? Star Fever Agency defies so many conventions, CasualGaming.biz had to find out more.
For that very reason, they sat down with two of the key people behind the new MMO, which has just been announced. Paul Rowland is the creative director and COO at new company The Rabbit Hole, and Sara Garneau is marketing director at veteran studio Sarbakan. The two companies are partners on the project, which is due to launch in autumn this year.
