For years, developers from computing giant Intel had been working on a game, called Project Offset. Note the use of past tense in that sentence.
Intel has cancelled the game and scattered the development team to the winds, releasing the following statement to Big Download:
Intel purchased Offset Software to improve our game development knowledge-base and to further Intel's visual computing technology development expertise, helping the company offer robust products, support, and tools to customers. With the recent changes in our product roadmap, some of the resources and technologies from the acquisition are being re-applied to help support new graphics related projects. Additionally, other Offset Software team members have moved onto other external projects outside the company.
A shame, but then seeing as we'd seen or heard barely anything about the game in five years, it was also to be expected. All we're left with then are memories of meteors blowing shit up.
