Dyack: Too Human Could 'Change the World' for Developer's Hometown
by Aaron Linde, Aug 18, 2008 1:10pm PDTSilicon Knights founder and president Denis Dyack believes that the success of the studio's upcoming Xbox 360 action-RPG Too Human could have a profound effect on Niagara, Ontario, where the studio is based.
"If Too Human does what we expect it will [in the marketplace], then it can change the world for St. Catharines and Niagara," Dyack told the St. Catharines Standard.
Strong marketplace performance of Too Human would likely prompt further expansion at the studio, as well as help the city of Niagara grow a tech-oriented economy to offset the region's declining manufacturing industry.
"I've said this before. I want to see a campus here in Niagara dedicated to interactive information technology," Dyack added.
Early this year, the studio announced its intentions to expand operations in Niagara, adding some 80 new employees to its workforce. The effort is part of a plan called nGen, meant to reinvigorate the local economy with interactive entertainment business.
Later, it was revealed that the Ontario government had granted the studio $500,000 to develop a prototype game. The prototype may be the next game in the Too Human trilogy, the long-awaited sequel to psychological thriller Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GCN), or the company's unannounced collaborative project with Sega.
Too Human will arrive on retailer shelves this Wednesday.

first of all, the town that the developers are in... is a raving boring ass fucking shit hole in the middle of fucking no where.
it's a GM town, engine plant... and when that place goes down.. man so does that small city.
sure they are only 20 mins away from niagra falls, but niagra falls aint going anywhere, and that place lives off the teet of tourists and wine... that's it.
both cities are raving boring ass fucking shit holes with nothing goin on in them.
he's partially right... if the game goes well, along w/ the government grant... that's a huge cash infusion into that area of ontario. Also, might get some people moving there to work for the company, ect ect ect... cuz everyone ive ever known to come out of that area, gets the FUCK away from st catharines and moves to toronto... just like every other person in a small piss ass town within a 2-3 hour limit of toronto.
