[edit] Namco Hometek

Namco is the publishing partner in the U.S., Europe, South America and Japan. They have a dedication to creating and publishing games of the highest quality and shares Flagship Studio's vision and passion for how games should be made.

[edit] HanbitSoft

HanbitSoft is the publishing partner in Korea, China, Taiwan and numerous other countries in Asia. Their experience and expertise with Blizzard make them a proven leader in these markets and Flagship's distribution partnership is a working relationship with old friends.

[edit] Liquid Development

Liquid Development knows creating next-generation gaming content can be grueling. The amount of assets required by state-of-the-art games can break any artist! So, using their resources allows developers to do what they do best: create great games, instead of managing a room-full of artists. Liquid Development has the experience to step in at any point in the process and produce art that is top-notch and true to the designer's vision, which is exactly why Flagship uses Liquid for just about everything, really.

[edit] Burza

When it comes to web design, the Croatians at Burza do it all. From the very first interview with the client, through the analysis of future content, defining the informational architecture and creation of a functional CMS, up to the design of the layout, building the user interface and optimization for Internet browsers, Burza keeps its focus on quality. Flagship hired Burza to create the amazing Hellgate: London website and that was a good call on our part.

[edit] Sonic Mayhem & Monarch Audio

For its 2006 E3 cinematic, Flagship Studios enlisted the talents of acclaimed composers Sascha Dikiciyan and Cris Velasco (Sonic Mayhem & Monarch Audio) to create a compelling score.

[edit] Blur

Blur was founded 10 years ago with one goal, "To make an environment where artists can thrive and create great imagery." We're pretty sure Blur's thriving (since they're responsible for the cinematics in some of the biggest and best games of today), but we're positive those kids can make great imagery. We know this because Blur is responsible for Hellgate's incredible cinematics. Flagship's cutscenes are fabulous because they're done by fabulous people. It's as simple as that, even if the truth is somewhat Blurred.

[edit] Massive Black

Massive Black Inc. is a premier game development and art outsourcing studio. Their high profile talent has delivered art for several academy award winning films and AAA game titles. Their clients come to them for their unique artistic vision and years of proven industry experience in conceptual design, cinematics, 3D asset development, animation, sculpture, high-end illustration, as well as consulting and art education. Flagship uses Massive Black to help alleviate some of the workload placed on their already overburdened artists. In return, Massive Black gives them kick ass designs.

[edit] Havok

The Havok physics SDK is the industry’s leading physics solution. Havok technology is used by over 70 of the world’s game developers to enhance gameplay across multiple genres, to enhance realism, and to reduce schedule risk and production costs... And now Flagship's got it! They're using Havok's special brand of physical interactivity to make their demonic forces of hell die prettily. They'll tumble, stumble and crumple with uncanny realism. Well, it'll be as realistic as hell minions can be, anyway.

[edit] Dark Horse Comics

Dark Horse Comics is a solid example of how integrity and innovation combined with a dedication to success can help grow a unique medium and establish a small, homegrown company as an industry giant. Flagship is happy to partner with this industry giant to create a series of Hellgate comic books based off the game of the same name.

[edit] TOKYOPOP

TOKYOPOP is hailed as a leading youth-oriented entertainment brand and an innovator of manga creation, with a revolutionary artistic vision that transcends countless platforms. From the introduction of the first-ever extensive manga publishing program in North America, to the development of its manga-originated intellectual properties into film, television and digital entertainment, TOKYOPOP has changed the way teens experience pop culture. Now Flagship Studios is partnering with TOKYOPOP to create an all new manga based off Flagship's own Hellgate property.

[edit] Weta Collectibles

Weta Collectibles, a brand of Weta Limited, is Flagship's high-end collectible model and sculpture partner, working with the brilliant artists and designers who have crafted some of the coolest high-end collectible models and sculptures in the world to bring official Hellgate products to market. With Hellgate's design and Weta's expertise, the new line of collectibles will be in-keeping with Weta's already extensive portfolio of AAA products, which now includes Superman Returns, King Kong, Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings lines, among others.

[edit] Firelight Technologies

Firelight Technologies' FMOD is an extremely powerful audio system that has been in the works since 1993, and is basically the result of constant user feedback. FMOD is being used now in many professional game projects, and has been welcomed by the 'demo scene' as a free way to play music in low profile productions. FMOD has certainly been of tremendous help to Flagship Studios.
