Don Daglow Starts New Studio Daglow Entertainment

Video game designer and industry veteran Don Daglow has revealed his new game development studio, Daglow Entertainment, LLC. Founded this week, the new studio will now start recruitment for its first title, a Facebook game based on "a top-tier license with a major high-profile publisher". The company is based in Sausalito, CA, and is looking to expanding its focus later in the year to mobile and portable platforms. Daglow will give a presentation at the upcoming GDC 2011, entitled "10 Lessons from 20 Years as An Entrepreneur". He said that now was "a good time to revisit those lessons", due to his new start-up, and is hoping to "shape the future of social and online games". Daglow is best known for founding game developer Stormfront Studios in 1988, which eventually ceased operations in 2008 after losing a $20 million contract. At the IGDA Leadership Forum last November, he said that "This is the most exciting era of game development yet". "Suddenly it's a much more confusing world," he said. "But it's also a world that is very much more exciting because there are more ways to publish games."
