To say Geon Cube is an under the radar title, is a bit of an understatement. There's nothing really out there about the game. EB Gamestop doesn't list it even though it comes out in less than a month. Gamerankings and Gamefaqs are barren of information, and so the majority of gamers probably have no idea this even exists. Savvy gamers might recognize this title as Geon: Emotions, which was originally released on XBLA in September of 2007. It later made its way to the Playstation network a year later. Now UFO Interactive and Strawdog Studios are bringing a revamped version of the game under its new name to the Nintendo Wii.
Strawdog Studios: These days, being an independent game developer is just as much about being a business man and fund raiser as it is about development and delivering risky and original products. One is infinitely more enjoyable than the other, but to be honest we often approached the securing of externals funding as a exciting challenge.
Before we could secure development funding we needed to secure a digital route to market and since we had an excellent relationship with Microsoft via our development of ‘Geon’ on XBLA, we decided to pitch them the idea whilst at GDC 2007.
Strawdog Studios, the small Derby based team responsible for the successful Geon series, is set to launch their latest title on Xbox LIVE Arcade very soon. Electronic Theatre was given the opportunity to get hands-on with Space Ark recently, and also secured the chance to get to know the team that little bit better with an exclusive Question & Answer (Q&A) session.
