Interactive Studio Management (ISM), the largest business management company for independent game studios, announced the recent addition of Nihilistic Software on the clients' list.

"We are genuinely excited about the relationship ISM has established with Nihilistic. Because of the substantial investment required to produce next-generation games, studios that can create triple-A titles are in high demand. As we continue moving into the next generation of console game platforms, ISM is convinced that the talents and technology Nihilistic brings to the table will be of substantial importance to publishers around the world," commented Dan Rogers, a senior partner at ISM.

ISM draws on over ten years of experience in the business end of game development, during which time it represented numerous game developers, including a number of highly successful ones such as Silicon Knights or Digital Extremes, and closed over 135 publishing deals.

Nihilistic Software, better known for their Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption, last year's Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects, as well as their work on the canceled Starcraft: Ghost, is currently developing a yet-to-be announced original title for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for a major game publisher - hopefully another Vampire the Masquerade.

"We are excited about our new relationship with ISM. Today's business environment demands full-time professional management and negotiation, especially as the stakes rise for next generation projects," remarked Robert Huebner, Nihilistic's President. "We look forward to pairing our studio's unique artistic and technical assets with their long track record of success working with independent developers and top-tier publishers."
