Inquiry of eidos rights

[Sargoth]

In 2005 a game developer called Mithis entertainment went bankrupt, they were working on the title called Battlestations: Midway and had previously made Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. Eidos bought it out and I wondered if they bought out the rights to the Black Sun Engine that powered Nexus too.

We're a bunch of fans from the Nexus: The Jupiter Incident forum wondering where our beloved Black Sun Engine went after the bankruptcy of Mithis.

Good question

Hey Sargoth. Glad to see you here. I will see what I can find out.

Ah yes, Nexus. I only ever played the demo. Its always been seen as a sort of spiritual successor to Imperium Galatica 2. However I dont think it is because IMHO i loved IG2 way more.

I heard that Mithis want dead. The only developer big in Hungary (where I think Mithis was based) is Eidos Hungary which obviously makes the BattleStations series.

I checked out the Nexus forum, seems good. I just hope one day we get an IG3 from who-ever.

Hey chip

Would be awesome if you could get info concerning this

and for the rest wondering really what The Black Sun is - http://sargoth.spymac.com/space_techdemo_HD.rar (its a tech video wrap in rar) this was a newer version of it then the one powering nexus.

I really love that. I still watch it from time to time.

[Sargoth]

yeah. a memory of something with potential

[chip5541]

I think it really could have worked as either the same type of play or maybe going as a RTS.

[Sargoth]

as long as it is story driven. And perhaps multi choice missions and endings like those in colony wars series

[Sargoth]

any news chip?
