KUJU HAS THE CHEMISTRY FOR UE3

Chemistry is one of five specialist studios formed by Kuju Entertainment. Formerly known as Kuju Sheffield (founded in 2002), Chemistry recently announced that it is going to use Unreal Engine 3 exclusively for this console generation.

Specialising in UE3 allows the studio to get continuously more proficient at using it and develop increasingly polished games over time.

We know this strategy very well because it is exactly what we’re doing here at Epic. Like Epic, Chemistry can take advantage of having UE3 as their common technology base with multiple teams sharing resources and expertise to built world-class games in the most efficient fashion. UE3’s mature toolset, and cross-platform capabilities should help ensure their success

Simeon Pashley, head of the studio explained: “We’ve decided to specialise in Unreal Engine as it’s clearly an awesome next-gen toolset that frees our staff to focus on bringing their creative talents to bear without worrying about the low-level nuts and bolts. It’s also perfect for our future plans as it allows us to look forward without worrying about technology stability.”

Chemistry has two Unreal Engine 3-based games currently in development.
