Apogee maestro

While pushing for every last extra point to dominate online leaderboards. Make an even better game (good luck!) with the new level editor, powered by Steam Workshop. Bash some baddies anywhere with cloud save support and take your best shot at new difficulty levels. But don’t worry—Apogee didn’t touch the soundtrack. “We’re learning a ton from today’s talented developers about how to bridge the gap between our past and present,” said Scott Miller, Apogee founder and game industry pioneer of shareware, episodic releases, bullet time, and more. “It’s the perfect time of year to revisit Monster Bash and update the classic to scare a whole new generation, plus the seasoned gamers who’ve been with us since the beginning.” Monster Bash HD smashes its way onto Steam for PC and Linux today for $9.99 / £7.19 / 8,19€ with English language support.

About Apogee EntertainmentApogee Software’s pioneering journey began in 1987, when Scott Miller decided to split his new game, Kingdom of Kroz, into three episodes, with the first episode available as free shareware. The “Apogee model” of distribution revolutionized PC gaming at the time and catapulted Apogee Software to global renown. As an indie publisher, Apogee (and it's later incarnation, 3D Realms) would introduce the world to id Software, Remedy Entertainment, Parallax Software, and other video game superstars in the making. As a developer, Apogee would innovate and inspire in equal measure, creating

Going to interview some of the big names from Apogee's past. Was it good luck or good insight that Apogee associated itself with these people?I'd say a mixture of both. It's hard to answer that since I wasn't the one who initiated contact with these people. :)Your company no longer produces games under the Apogee brand name since all of your games are 3D now. People are always calling for sequels but, honestly, do you think you guys will ever produce a 2D PC game under the Apogee name again?We tried that a few years ago with Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project. While it wasn't as "2D" as the old scrollers were, it was an old school scroller game. It had a pseudo 3D look to it, but it was a 2D scroller game. It didn't sell very well at all, which I think told us that market has dried up. It's a shame as that's the roots of the company, but I can't see us making that kind of game again.3D Realms is definitely a big name its own right, but retro seems to be really popular right now. Infogrames changed their name to Atari after acquiring it because, despite being known for a line of systems and games that lost their dominance 20 years ago, they felt that the name carried more weight than theirs did. I see people wearing Atari t-shirts; old is the new new. It's been 10 years since the last Apogee game was published. Apogee is retro now, isn't it?Sure, it's retro. It was already retro back in 1996 when we stopped using it for new releases, as it was roughly 10 years at THAT point when Scott first started using the name. Before Apogee the company was founded in 1987, the name did pop

Up on a few of Scott's early titles. Not sure where to go with this answer as you kind of answered your own question here by having such a lengthy question. :)Do you think 3DR will ever go back to calling itself Apogee?Well, in 1994 when 3D Realms was invented it wasn't intended to be the name of the company. It actually still isn't, as the "on paper" name of the company remains "Apogee Software, Ltd.". Back in 1994, Scott thought that the "Apogee" name was diluted and he got into label branding. When you got an Apogee title, you never really knew what "kind of game" you'd be getting. Around then we had some scroller games, but had shooter games too (Raptor), fighting game (Xenophage), driving game (Death Rally), etc.. So the name "3D Realms" was created to designate if you saw it, you knew what kind of game you'd get, a 3D action game. It was intended that Apogee would remain for our more classic style of games, and then later on, the "Pinball Wizards" label was created for pinball games (although there ended up jsut being one there). However, around 1995/1996 or so 3D games became the dominant force in the market, and because of that, it's where most companies (including us) put their focus, and because that's all we were putting out, the name 3D Realms just kind of became our de facto name, even if it isn't the legal name of the company. It's all marketing. Should there be some serious renaissance of old school games that Apogee used to make back in the day, I could see the name being dusted off. But I honestly can't see that happening.A short answer to your question is no. :)3D Realms today seems like a very different
