Genesi: CeBIT-Report 2003

CeBIT is over, 8 days of hard work are done! Genesi's first CeBIT was very successful. We had a lot of interesting talks, many many interested visitors and made some very prosperous deals.

Larian Studios and e.p.i.e. interactive announced on March 19, 2003 that they have signed a contract to bring the role-playing sensation Divine Divinity to MorphOS and the Apple Mac.

Divine Divinity has won award after award from the mainstream press, and is a real coupe for the guys over at e.p.i.c. interactive This title should be a great addition to the MorphOS software library.

In a joint statement, Raquel Velasco, Bill Buck, and greenboy clarify some outstanding issues about the future of Genesi, the role of Phoenix, and the DTV set-top-box.

Further, they are expressing their desire to bring more developers on board.

According to Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck, the Application Development Team is forming much like the Game Development Team through Phoenix.

As seen in the Comments on MorphOS-News.de, Felix Schwarz has agreed to serve as chairman of the group.

Congradulations to Felix, Phoenix, and the new development teams!
