Argonaut Games PLC
Argonaut Games PLC has an 18-year history of producing ground breaking games and is one of the largest independent games developers in the world with nearly 300 employees based in five UK locations; Edgware, Kentish Town, Cambridge, Bicester and Sheffield.
Argonaut prides itself on its creativity in games design and technology.
Second Intention undertook research on behalf of Argonaut into next-gen
graphical techniques for rendering large urban environments in real time. Over a
period of three months, we investigated and implemented a HDR renderer using a PRT solution for diffuse global illumination coupled with a multiresolution shadowmap for direct sunlight.
Sadly, Argonaut’s doors have now closed for good following a period of financial administration. Many redundancies have resulted, and we wish their talented and hard-working staff the best of luck in their future ventures.
