Planet Moon Studios was a game development studio based in San Francisco, California founded by ex- Shiny Entertainment developers Nick Bruty (President) and Bob Stevenson (CEO) in 1997. The founding members were then known for creating the third-person shooter video game MDK. [1] [2]
Shortly after its founding, the developer signed a multi-game deal with publisher Interplay Entertainment, despite the fact that it had yet to announce its first game or even decide on a name for the company. [1]
Planet Moon developed the games Giants: Citizen Kabuto ( Interplay, 2000) [3] and Armed and Dangerous ( LucasArts, 2003) [4] The games are critically well received and are often lauded for their humor in various reviews. [5] [6]
In January 2011, Bigpoint Games acquired the Planet Moon Studios staff in San Francisco, California, [7] but did not acquire the company, its intellectual properties, or its other assets. Shortly thereafter, Planet Moon Studios closed its doors. [8]
