Exclusive Interview - C3 'Orbs' in on Crossbeam Studios Entertainment
Mike Mason & Adam Riley :: Thursday 16th February 2006
Recently, we carried a news piece on Orb, a game devised by independent developer Crossbeam Studios with a release aimed towards Nintendo's Revolution. We got in touch with Greg Szemiot of Crossbeam to talk about Orb and their thoughts on Revolution...
Cubed3
: Please introduce yourself, your company, and describe your role within the team.
Greg Szemiot
: My name is Greg Szemiot, I am the Founder and one of three Lead Designers and Directors at Crossbeam Studios Entertainment.

We'd like to have more people to help ease the pressure, so anyone out there with some talent feel free to contact us.
C3:
Orb is intended for Nintendo Revolution. What platform do you have in mind for your other titles, 'Darkness' and the as-yet unnamed title? Could you say a little bit about each of them?
GS:
This is kind of an interesting question, because just after James Bond and I decided to move to Revolution, I told Greg Nichols, the lead designer on Darkness and he said he'd love for it to be on Revolution as well. However, Darkness is still in design, it's actually been in design longer than Orb (doesn't help that Greg Nichols is the weapons system designer on Orb). As for the unannounced title...it's a FPA (First Person Adventure,
