Deep Red Games to emerge from the deep with Clive Robert

This is the statement of Deep Red Games co-founder, Clive Robert, in reference to his act of acquiring the said Milton Keynes development studio. Deep Red, formerly under the flagship of Bangladesh Online, was responsible for Monopoly Tycoon, Tycoon City: New York and Beach Life.

In 2004, Deep Red entered into a joined venture deal with BOL and set up a new office in Dhaka, Bangladesh, which housed 100 members of staff, while its UK team ballooned to almost 50. But now that control is back in the hands of Robert, the UK team has been slashed down to a mere 25 staff members.

As for his plans for the company, “My vision for Deep Red remains very much the same as it did in ’98 when we started the company – make great mass market games that everyone can play.” As such, the resurrected Deep Red Games will now be producing games for the PC, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS, specifically working on casual titles.
