SoftImage XSI & Develop Start Incubator
Softimage
announced its new Incubator Program trial in partnership with Develop
Magazine. The Softimage Incubator Program will give approved game
developer applicants access to SOFTIMAGE®|XSI® 3D software at zero cost
during the first year of start-up, with an easy transition to fixed
quarterly payments for the remaining two years of the programs three
year term. By removing the financial barriers of entry for game
developers, this program allows start-up companies to preserve cash
flow, and keep energies focused on the creative process.
The
Softimage Incubator program is targeted primarily at the rapidly
expanding casual game space and will offer developers who have great
gaming ideas a way to start up with less front-end financial investment
on their software tools. The powerful game-centric features and open
connected workflows in SOFTIMAGE|XSI software used by successful game
companies such as Lionhead Studios, Pandemic, CAPCOM, SEGA®
Corporation, and Crytek, will equip start-up game developers with the
creative tools they need to bring their ideas to market quickly.
With
the wider availability of enabling technologies and better access to
distribution, the opportunities for independent game development is
growing at a record pace, said Marc Stevens, general manager of
Softimage and vice president of Avid Technology. The Incubator Program
enables upcoming talent in the industry to develop their game ideas and
showcase their creativity without the typical financial hurdles.
Flexible financing is just one of the latest additions to a suite of
products and services designed to meet the needs of a quickly evolving
industry.
The Incubator program is interesting as it provides
an incentive for independent and firsttime game developers to run with
their ideas and start up their own businesses, said Michael French,
editor at Develop Magazine and executive editor of CasualGaming.biz.
We look forward to working with Softimage on this pilot project and
tracking the progress of the selected candidates as they progress
through the travails of a startup.
