About Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment
Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, Inc. (CME), headquartered near Phoenix, is dedicated to the fusion of social experiences with entertainment software and games. The company is engaged in building global entertainment brands based on fresh concepts and rich game play. CME is developing software for a variety of platforms and systems, including current and next-generation consoles, handheld devices and PCs. The complexity of developing games for many devices in many genres means CME is constantly recruiting top industry talent. The world-class team currently in place has more then 550 titles to its credit, including the highly acclaimed games and innovative software that have fueled the exponential growth in the games industry. CME is committed to using the latest technology and processes in software development. When prudent, the team licenses third-party engines and other foundation technologies to allow the programmers, designers and artists to focus on game innovations that advance the industry. CME has the license to create online games based on the longest-running science fiction television series in U.S. history, StargateTM SG-1 and its spin offs. CME is currently in production of its first game, the Stargate Worlds massively multiplayer online role playing game. The parent company CME has established an interactive software subsidiary, FireSky,that includes Stargate Worlds in addition to three other game development studios with future studios planned. This organizational structure provides CME with the freedom to evaluate additional high-growth projects while FireSky remains focused on the vision articulated below. FireSky is a publisher for Social Networks at Play or SNAP games. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, FireSky was formed in April 2008. CMG believes there is a need to more intelligently connect gamers who converge on a massive scale—where social networking meets gaming. We call this genre Social Networks At Play games (SNAP games). FireSky, originally founded in 2005 as Cheyenne Mountain Games, has aggressively recruited talent from the largest developers and publishers in interactive entertainment, including Electronic Arts, the No. 1 publisher in the games industry, Blizzard Entertainment, the creators of blockbuster MMO World of Warcraft, Microsoft, the creators of the Xbox 360 and the Halo® franchise, and Sony Online Entertainment, the creators of the PlayStation3 and publishers of the Everquest® franchise. This team of more than 100 people has assembled at FireSky’s Mesa, Arizona headquarters to develop and publish online SNAP games that will drive the convergence of social networking and interactive entertainment. The company expects to create, license and acquire highly recognizable brands initially for personal computers, and eventually for the Xbox 360®, PlayStation3®, Nintendo® Wii, Nintendo Game Boy® Advance & Dual Screen, Sony PlayStation Portable™ and hand-held devices including cell phones. FireSky will develop, market and sell its products directly, by license or through its affiliate label program with certain third-party publishers. |
