Core Talent Games Options Design Document From Veteran Designer, Keith Nemitz

(22 Sept 2009; Toronto, San Francisco)

Core Talent Games (CTG) is pleased to announce it has optioned a game design document, written by Keith Nemitz, as part of its first slate of projects.

This is an important milestone in CTG’s goal to pioneer free agent design for major game projects. The deal took several months of detailed legal negotiation and ensures: 1.) reward to Keith in the event his game does well and spawns a major franchise, 2.) clear chain of title for CTG for unique gameplay and content, within deal terms, in order to produce the game, and 3.) the freedom, flexibility and low overhead that free-agent-based, producer-driven game development offers both parties.

The present deal also includes licence of patented designer technology, integral to the optioned design, which is owned by Nemitz.

Keith Nemitz is a senior developer actively involved in experimental game design. He has worked for Sierra Online, Stormfront Studios and 3DO and numerous software development firms. His most recent indie game, Dangerous High School Girls In Trouble, earned Keith a nomination for the Writers Guild of America 2009 Videogame Writing Award.

Keith had two other games selected as a finalist for the Independent Game Festival at GDC, in 1999 for Flagship: Champion, and in 2006 for The Witch's Yarn. Both were showcased in the innovation category.

Core Talent Games is adapting the free-agent-based, film-style model of dealmaking to the game industry. It seeks to bring large budgets to indie-style game development.
