Bibliography

In 1997 David Adams founded Stone Jackal Studios in Gilbert, Arizona and developed and released his first title Crush! Deluxe, via publisher MegaMedia Corp. Crush! was received as a popular niche game, and is considered a "Top Dog"[1] by The Underdogs. He left Stone Jackal Studios to co-found Realm Interactive to pursue the development of a new game based on the popular BBS door game Trade Wars. Named Trade Wars: Dark Millennium, Realm Interactive generated interest in the industry around the nostalgia of the old game.[2] NCSoft initially decided to publish Trade Wars,[3] but later decided that since the game had changed significantly it should be renamed as Exarch.[4]

Later NCSoft decided to purchase Realm Interactive, and moved the then Mesa, Arizona based development studio to their offices in Austin, Texas.

In 2005 David Adams left NCSoft, to found Vigil Games with other former NCSoft employees, where they began work on Darksiders: Wrath of War. In March 2006[5] Vigil was acquired by THQ. In 2007[6] Games Workshop, selected THQ to develop their Massively Multiplayer Online version of their popular Warhammer 40k series dubbed Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online, THQ then gave Vigil Games the project to do the actual development.
