Local company Silicon Knights is getting nearly $4 million in federal money to create a new video game, leaving community leaders gushing the region is one step closing to being a gaming capital.
The St. Catharines company will use the money to create a new high-end game for multiple platforms and will immediately create 65 additional jobs.
"This is going to benefit Silicon Knights in ways that are profound and long-lasting," said company president Denis Dyack.
The announcement was made Friday by MP Rick Dykstra at the company's offices at 1 St. Paul Street in downtown St. Catharines.
The action-RPG by now-defunct Silicon Knights is now free for Xbox gamers! Check out the Too Human free direct download link with armor sets here.
Fun fact: I'm one of five people to have completed Too Human and actually liked it. It should be noted that the other four ended up in mental institutions....sadly.
I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.
He worked in the game industry since the early ‘90s
Oh sad to say not that familiar with this man's work but RIP to this individual, his music must have been amazing.
Very sad news, I really enjoy the Eternal Darkness and Blood Omen soundtracks, masterpieces.
It took SK 10 years to produce a title that was exclusive to the 360...How long will it take them to produce a multiplatform title?
expect their next flop in 2027
Take that 4 million and run SK. Your just gonna end up losing all that money due to your crappy game devs
I'll develop a game if I can get 4 million.
They had one good game thats it.
