Kapooki Games set for liquidation

Dublin-based games developer, Kapooki Games, is to be liquidated with debts of 700,000 euro, according to today’s Sunday Business Post.

Kapooki were hiring game testers at the end of last year, and was
developing two games for PC and console – ‘Big Top’ was one such
title. They were close to completing a title, initially for PC and
later on console. The company also had developed mobile phone games,
and non-games related marketing applications.

Michael Griffin, a founder of Kapooki, left the company around May
of this year due to personal issues. At the time, Dave Stafford the
firm’s art director and co-founder had taken up the CEO duties.

The Sunday Business Post
says that the firm is ‘understood’ to have run out of funds in the
past three months. A liquidator was appointed at a creditors’ meeting
last week.
