The result was merge to Flip's Twisted World. The consensus is that the company is not notable at this time in its own right, whereas the game meets the criteria (following the recent AfD for that article). If the company meets the criteria for inclusion at a future time, then it can always have an article re-created -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 21:04, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not-notable developer who have only one title, which is not yet released. Sources in the article (LinkedIn and an IGN Dev Page) do not constitute significant coverage, nor reliable sources. If in a few months the game becomes a huge success, then they'll probably be able to get an article here - until then, one upcoming game and no press coverage doesn't seem enough.

  • I agree with a merge to the game, as the company isn't notable (yet) but as the game does seem to have enough sources, might as well merge until notability is established. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 22:38, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Flip's Twisted World. The company doesn't seem to be notable, but as they're partnering with Majesco Entertainment, one of the bigger game publishers, the game they're releasing certainly meets notability guidelines. If the company does turn out to be a huge success one day in the future, then it'll deserve a seperate article, but that's a big if.--Hongkongresident (talk) 13:33, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the article was originally created by the company itself as a promotional vehicle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.171.231.18 (talk) 18:37, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Merge per Hongkongresident; this is a valid redirect but a long way from notable enough for a stand alone article. VQuakr (talk) 08:19, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, but with no objection to merging it back out when and if they have more games under their belt sometime in the future. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:37, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, a game developer with only one released game is not in itself notable. Greentrees1 (talk) 19:36, 23 October 2010 (UTC)— Greentrees1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • Keep or Merge How unusual is this M.C. Escher-like ability to use all available surfaces? My computer gaming extends as far as FreeCell, but I don't recall hearing about (or seeing on the machines of young friends and relations) this facility. Even in a Harry Potter game I was introduced to by a young lady (whose virus-laden computer I'd just fixed) seemed to be governed by vertical gravitic orientation.

    • It goes back to the NES days of the mid-80s at least. Batman and Ninja Gaiden both had main characters with wall-crawling abilities. Castlevania III had a playable character who could crawl both walls and ceilings. When the Super Nintendo came out circa 1991, scaling and rotating graphics were one of the main selling points, and were used (some might say overused) extensively, leading to games like Super Castlevania IV and Super Ghouls & Ghosts, both of which had sections where the environment rotated and the floor became the ceiling and so on. So the basic concept goes back at least a couple of decades, but that doesn't necessarily mean this game is any more or less notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:40, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge Did some research and found some reliable sources that seem to imply some notability (and added them to the page). However since the company has only released one game, it might be better suited for a merge instead and possibly split if/when a second project is announced.

    • Comment. Most of those sources refer to the game, with only a passing mention to the company. That said, there was some good info there - I did move some to the Flip's article where it seemed more relevant. -Addionne (talk) 12:21, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Several of the new sources do not meet WP:N and do not add credibility. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.129.158 (talk) 00:50, 25 October 2010 (UTC) — 69.165.129.158 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • Merge until such time as publisher becomes independently notable. --Teancum (talk) 13:58, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into the game article. The Eskimo (talk) 21:18, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
