John Romero Founds New Company

Slipgate IronworksJohn Romero, infamous game developer, has launched the website for his new game development studio. The studio, called Slipgate Ironworks is hiring to fill a few positions for his new “Super Secret” massively multiplayer online game. The company is looking for a couple of artists, a game designer, and a tools developer, suggesting that whatever project Romero is working on is in its infancy. Romero has had a rather checkered past in the game world; his largest successes came while he was at iD software. Games like Doom and Quake really shaped the first person shooter genre. To date, however, he has not achieved anything paralleling his early successes. The most infamous game to bear Romero’s stamp was, of course, Daikatana. After Ion Storm’s collapse, Romero would go on to explore mobile games with Monkeystone Games. This company would later fold. The next high-profile game would be Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows for Midway; Romero left Midway before the game’s release under mysterious circumstances. Now, his latest attempt at a comeback involves massively multiplayer online gaming.
