Star Wars: Obi-Wan’s Adventures
Leading developer completes heralded Star Wars title.
Croydon-based video game developer HotGen Studios has completed work on the eagerly anticipated Game Boy Color version of Star Wars: Obi-Wan's Adventures for LucasArts Entertainment Company and THQ Inc.
HotGen Studios' is regarded as one of the leading lights in UK game design and the completion of Obi-Wan's Adventures continues the firm's expansion as a global development force. Based on the events of Episode One: The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan's Adventures is an exciting mix of arcade and fighting elements, with players guiding the Jedi Padawan through a succession of levels lifted from the film. Controlling Obi-Wan, players engage recognisable adversaries - including Darth Maul - in running light sabre battles, while Obi-Wan's mastery of 'The Force' is used to move seemingly impassable obstacles.
The game has been developed in close conjunction with LucasArts, the software arm of Star Wars creator, George Lucas', Lucasfilm group of companies and is just one of many top-level titles set to emerge from the Croydon team. "Obi-Wan's Adventures" is an excellent game and, an exciting step forward for HotGen," commented managing director Fergus McGovern. "It was good to work with the strong possibilities afforded by the Star Wars universe and to work closely with a such a talented crew such as LucaArts, the benefits of which we feel is reflected in a very entertaining game."
"HotGen Studios has produced a game that will be enjoyed by all fans of Star Wars Episode One," commented Simon Jeffery, President of Lucasarts Entertainment Company. "HotGen has done a great job making Obi-Wan come alive on GameBoy."
HotGen is now busy on a wide range of high profile titles across every conceivable interactive entertainment format. The firm is developing titles for PlayStation 1 and 2, Microsoft's X-Box, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and PC and is also a leader in the field of online and digital entertainment for mobile and idTV technologies
