Nigredo Studios - Prototype Team

Location

Organizational Overview

Nigredo Studios was found in November 2004 to provide an exciting, detailed, and good flowing, episodic modification to the Half Life 2 Community called Night Fall.

Today Nigredo Studios is a games development contractor, and has had recent involvement with Raven Software LCC for Quake 4, and worked with Nocturanl Central (as contubiters).

Approach

To get our next project off the ground we have accrued the rights to create an unforgettable experience of Peter F. Hamilton�s commonwealth saga, using the Unreal Engine 3.

The use of the Intellectual Property

Working along side both Peter, and the Pan Macmillan Publishers, we plan on reaching a well rounded Game Play Intellectual Property (IP) to be known as Prime and is based on the Land Fall even that takes place in Pandora�s Star (ISBN 0 330 49331 0).
