American McGee Goes To China
American McGee has announced plans to create a new development studio in Shanghai.
On August 4th, American McGee quietly updated his blog [http://www.americanmcgee.com/wordpress/] with the news that he will be starting a new studio in China. He plans to develop a new title described as "an episodic game set in a dark, fairy tale universe." He goes on to request applications to fill all positions in the company.
Next-Gen notes [http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3599&Itemid=2]that in a previous blog entry, American McGee said that, "...This is the place to build armies. In a country of more than 1.3 billion people (nearly 20% of the world?s population) it isn?t difficult to build factories on scales of tens of thousands of workers." He goes on to discuss a "factory approach" to creating art assets for an increasingly demanding entertainment industry. "To that end I?ve been working with a collection of industry leaders in China to build the world?s biggest and best art outsourcing factory.?
American McGee's Bad Day LA is currently set to ship in late August.
