Hollywood FX studio Digital Domain to open Florida office; games on their mind
Famed Hollywood visual effects company Digital Domain announced over two years ago that they were interested in getting into game development. Since then there's been no word at all on their game plans but this week Variety reports that the company plans to open up an office in Florida and that games could be one of their projects.
With their Hollywood studio focused on working on movie visual effects projects, Variety reports that the new Flordia studio, located in Port St. Lucie, will work on "videogames, animation and even military simulation graphics." Once again specific projects were not revealed. The new studio is getting millions of dollars in grants from local and state governments and businesses. The studio plans to hire 400 people within four years.
