Company
[edit]Firefly Studios is a computer game developer that has offices in London, England and Canton, Connecticut, with a QA department in Aberdeen, Scotland. The Company was formed in August 1999 by Simon Bradbury, Eric Ouellette and David Lester who had worked together on numerous titles such as the highly successful 'Caesar' [1] and 'Lords of the Realm'[2] series. Upon forming, Firefly released a mission statement that set out their vision for their company :
"FireFly Studios goal is to create compelling new worlds for people to play in. We aim to provide a richer environment for the player by continually increasing the level of visual and coded detail in our game worlds. Our expertise is in creating strategy based sim games and we will continue to evolve the genre by combining detailed visuals, in depth game play, compelling characters and an easy learning curve. If we have done our job well, players will be able to see the world they have built come to life and take on a personality of its own". [3]
The company has focused on Historic real-time strategy titles for the PC and Macintosh systems, and is particularly noted for its successful 'Stronghold' series of games. CivCity: Rome is the most recent title published to date, an ambitious collaboration with Firaxis Studios seeking to combine elements of the Civilization series with detailed city building and management, and producing an innovative, visual[4] portrayal of Roman life. Currently they are producing a number of next-gen titles for the PC and Xbox360.
