Intel Purchase of Offset Software (Project Offset)

[Aubrey_W_]

Dear Visual Computing community,

Intel purchased Offset Software to improve our game development knowledge-base and to further Intels visual computing technology development expertise, helping the company offer robust products, support, and tools to customers. With the recent changes in our product roadmap, some of the resources and technologies from the acquisition are being re-applied to help support new graphics related projects. Additionally, other Offset Software team members have moved onto other external projects outside the company.

Honestly there are two ways to take this, either as PR rhetoric, or a sign that the tech demo that wowed usway back in 2005could finally be getting its game legs. We'd like to believe the latter, but most of us here stopped believing in miracles a long time ago. But it begs the question as to what Intel has up its sleeves -- why would it pick up such a small developer if Offset Software's game engine technology didn't somehow fit into Intel's master plan? Whether it's interested in pushingProject Offsetahead or is just wanting to field the company's impressive middleware technology, it will be very interesting to see what comes out of this latest game industry acquisition in the months to come.

The original developers have started a new company called fractiv.

http://fractiv.com/

They posted this about Project Offset:

"Our previous company, Offset Software, was purchased by Intel in 2008. Our labor of love was Project Offset and the game engine that went with it. As many of our fans already know, Project Offset was cancelled. The graphics hardware it was being designed for did not ship and our game was a casualty of this.

The IP and Engine are property of Intel so its future is out of our hands. We have tried working with Intel to obtain the rights and there are some good people there who have made some effort to help us, but without success.

We would like to thank all those who supported us and the project. We learned some good lessons along the way and met some incredibly talented people who we are fortunate enough to call our friends."

Really such a very useful information. I heard about that on 1 July 2010 with blog of news.bigdownload.com Intel shutdown the offset projects. There i had seen in wording "It looks like the long-in-development PC first person shooter called by its code name Project Offset by the development team Offset Software is officially shut down at its home at the PC processor maker Intel." Now Intel again purchasing offset software and projects. G8!
