	In Response To: BREAKING - Bungie Unveils First Title In 'Aerospac (poenadare) : : http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/36751/Bungie_Unveils_First_Title_In_Aerospace_Program.php : Bungie Unveils First Title In 'Aerospace' Program : by Frank Cifaldi : August 23, 2011 : The first game to debut out of the Bungie Aerospace program will be Crimson: : Steam Pirates, a steampunk pirate-themed real-time strategy and action : game for the iPad. : Crimson is being developed by the small team at Harebrained Schemes under the : creative direction of Jordan Weisman, the former FASA Corporation founder : and the creator of franchises that include BattleTech, Shadowrun and : Crimson Skies. : According to the game's official site, Crimson will feature multiplayer modes : and be integrated with Bungie.net for stats, leaderboards, and Facebook : synchronization. : "I felt that the game I was developing could be warmly received from : Bungie's audience," Weisman recently told us. "There are 350,000 : apps in the App Store, sometimes it's pretty hard to get noticed. It's a : combination of helping make a better game and have an audience to present : it to as a launching point." : As with Weisman's previous franchises, Crimson: Steam Pirates is part of a : larger Crimson universe, with a deep amount of lore already written for : players to absorb. : The Bungie Aerospace program sees the studio that created Microsoft's Halo : franchise providing resources, assistance and exposure to independent : mobile and social game developers. : Bungie itself is still primarily focused on developing its new universe with : Activision. : This is the second iOS application associated with Bungie, the first being a : community-focused application for players of its console games. : Crimson: Steam Pirates will be available on Apple's App Store for free on : September 1. : ... : I met Jordan Weisman back in our old Traveller days. LUCKY DOG! Pirates... I wonder if that game will include pimps.
