Spartan Games out of business
The mini's workshop Spartan Games recently closed. I remember reading that SJ Games was going to invest in 3d printers and laser cutters. What do you
think, is there any chance they would be interested in acquiring the property and IP rights to some of their products and reproducing them? |

As I said elsewhere, GURPS is a good match for Halo.

Re: Spartan Games out of business
The Halo property disappeared from the Spartan Games website even before they announced their closure.
The product line they made didn't use laser cutters or 3D printers (except maybe for prototyping parts), their production items were good old resin and spin-cast white metal -- and for Halo, the initial releases were injection molded items -- though later releases were also resin. I have a suspicion the licensing costs of Halo are part of what killed Spartan. |

What they couldn't do was produce new product fast enough, while trying to have multiple lines at the same time (even starting a new one this year) while only having two people who were working on all of them. |

Re: Spartan Games out of business
It's been reported that Warcradle Studios has bought the 'Dystopian' and 'Firestorm' product lines, and will be re-offering them. One of their blog entries asked if anyone who had been employed by Spartan wanted a job, to talk to them ...
So there is hope. http://www.beastsofwar.com/warcradle...torm-settings/ Last edited by Mack_JB; 10-03-2017 at 02:30 PM. Reason: added link |
