Creating Games Again!

I'm back to making games again! Collaborating with my long time artist Gary Ward. We plan to first revist some of our old titles to bring them up to date so that they can be played again. After that we plan to create some brand new ones.

 

   

Excalibur Publishing

For the last 8 years (until March 2014) we've been working with Excalibur Publishing Limited. Our work has been to source a range of products that would give Excalibur Publishing an identity. Although focusing on niche simulation titles Excalibur Publishing has had several titles that have made it into the UK charts including Farming Simulator 2011 from GIANTS and Euro Truck Simulator 2 from SCS Software. Other standout titles include Street Cleaning Simulator. Excalibur Publishing also explored other genres including bringing the amazing multi-genre title Space Rangers from 1C.

 

   

PlaceForGames

In the early part of this decade, we experimented with creating a website to sell original PC titles called PlaceForGames. Titles included Movie Studio Boss and Tactical Soccer.

 

   

BACKGROUND

Back in the 1980's Edward started on the Sinclair Spectrum, graduating up through the Atari ST and Amiga until settling many years ago onto the PC platform. During his career he has designed and coded over twenty strategy games.

Edward founded Edward Grabowski Communications Ltd. in October 1994. Between 1994 and 2000 the company has developed and shipped five original PC titles. That's not including German, Italian, Spanish, French and Japanese versions of the games, and budget releases that see the games still selling some five years after first publication.
