Frozen Codebase now an authorized Xbox 360 Developer

Amusing to find this in the news, right after posting something about GarageGames and XNA Homebrew. Anyway, Frozen Codebase, a game development company based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has recently announced that it is now an approved developer for the Microsoft Xbox 360 video game console. The company is led by President Ben Geisler, a veteran developer who has worked on a number of hit titles including Quake 4, Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, X-Men Legends and Soldier of Fortune 2.

Wondering about the GarageGames connection? Well it’s the Torque game engine. Here’s what Geisler had to say:

Frozen Codebase is receiving fantastic feedback on our first game and is poised for success. We have a strong working relationship with Microsoft whose Xbox 360 console provides an exciting game development platform. GarageGames is providing the underlying Torque game engine.

What’s promising about this new development company is that it is comprised by veterans from Raven Software, Radical Entertainment, GarageGames and Astral Entertainment. So we guess expectations regarding their output are pretty high. Balakrishnan, a Board Director and Executive Producer of Frozen Codebase’s un-announced original game had this to say:

I am very excited to be working with Ben and his talented team at Frozen CodeBase. TheyÂ’re a new breed of game developers thatÂ’s revolutionizing the gaming industry, with efficient production techniques, combined with a primary focus on innovative gameplay.

Well, good luck to this new company. We hope that we’ll see excellent games for the Xbox 360 from them. Now we’re really curious about that Torque engine. Hmm…
