    Chair Talks Ender's Game, Empire

    Bear with the first bit of this interview so you can get to the juicy bit, which talks about Chair Entertainment's next big thing: Empire. They decided to kick off their franchise by commissioning a book, Empire, written by Orson Scott Card. That was then licensed to Warner Bros for a film and now they're going to make it a game. The first Empire game will be downloadable as a "total next-gen side-scroller." The game should hit this year. More »

    Chair Snags Rights To Ender's Game

    Undertow developer Chair Entertainment has secured the rights to create video games based on Orson Scott Card's science fiction classic, Ender's Game. This really comes as no surprise, seeing as the Chair team of Donald and Geremy Mustard have already worked with Card on the script for unfortunate Xbox failure Advent Rising as well as the original sci-fi IP Empire, which is currently getting the movie treatment via producer Joel Silver.
    "From the moment I started working with Donald Mustard and his team at Chair, I knew that these were the guys I wanted to do the first Ender's Game video game," said Card. "It's not enough to slap the Ender's Game name on just any game - it has to be exciting, memorable, and endlessly replayable. Chair shares my understanding of this and I am looking forward to working with them to ensure the game is as authentically Enderish as possible."

    Undertow Washes Up Onto Live Arcade

    As Americans everywhere dreamt of all the nifty things they could fry in those giant turkey frying pots once Thanksgiving subsides (Has anyone seen Fluffy?), Chair Entertainment's battle for underwater supremacy has gone live. Undertow is now available on Xbox Live Arcade for 800 points, which gets you 15 levels of single-player or co-op story mode and 16 player online battles across four modes of play. I've already downloaded the demo, and it is indeed a lot like Geometry Wars meets Battlefield, as promised. I'll be giving the full version a go later on, after I've written some more happy stories and stopped gazing endlessly from cat to clawed-up legs to deep fryer.

    Talking To A Chair About Undertow

    In 2005, the ambitious science fiction epic Advent Rising was released for the Xbox. While the game received a mixed reception that led to the premature ending of a planned trilogy, what the game did right gained co-creators and first-time developers Donald and Geremy Mustard industry recognition, which is almost worth as much as an award winning title. Two years later, the brothers are set to get noticed all over again as Chair Entertainment prepares to release Undertow, their first game for the Xbox Live Arcade. I got a chance to talk to Donald and Geremy about the company, their inspiration, and their hopes for their multiplayer underwater battle game. More »

    Unreal Engine Powers Chair

    And it would be the most glorious furniture ever, but I am speaking of independent game production company Chair Entertainment, who have entered into an exclusive deal with Epic Games to license the Unreal Engine 3 for just about everything the company is putting out, including PS3, 360, and PC games. The first title from Chair to use the technology will be Undertow, an upcoming Xbox Live Arcade title that will offer 15 single player levels and online co-op for up to 16 players - all delivered in a 50mb download.
