It has come to our attention (through ‘vonknut’ in the comments section of the Zero Point Software Rising Star Page which has been removed) that Zero Point Software (ZPS), a Danish gaming development company that was nominated for the SIME Awards, Mighty 36 have filed for bankruptcy. Clearly, a sad moment for all those folks involved.
From all the sources we checked during the month of June (when we began the Awards shortlisting process), there was no sign of any brewing trouble, but of course it was through the online lens and no direct interaction with the company or the people associated with it. But it turns out that the company did file for bankruptcy during early July.
Our apologies for overlooking this till now, but as advised by the chairman of the SIME Awards Jury, Pontus Schultz, we have removed ZPS from the Mighty 36, and will instead nominate another company in the final round to be released during October 14th. That is, instead of releasing 12 companies (as scheduled) in Round 3 of Mighty 36, we would release 13, one more from the big list of nominees that can be found at the Mighty 36 site here to make the cut into the Mighty 36. Thanks ‘vonknut’ for pointing this to us.
