The Ontario Media Development Corporation, sponsors of the Video Game Prototype Initiative has granted CAD 500,000 to Canada-based developer Digital Extremes. The Dark Sector creator will be putting the money towards a third-person action title that will feature an "old-school horror theme." DE's currently untitled project will ship for PC, PS3 and 360.
"Digital Extremes is honoured to have been chosen to participate in the Video Game Prototype Initiative," said Michael Schmalz, Chief Financial Officer, Digital Extremes. "We feel that programs such as the VGPI will enable Ontario game developers to take more financial and creative control over major game development projects and help ensure the benefits of these projects stay in Ontario. We look forward to collaborating with the OMDC on this and hopefully other projects in the future."
The second winner for the project was Ontario-based Silicon Knights, the makers of the GameCube survival-horror title Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and the upcoming Xbox 360 title Too Human.
