I-play and Nikitova are on the verge of releasing an innovative new casual simulation game, Artist Colony.  Artist Colony is basically what would happen if you the world of The Sims or Virtual Villagers was inhabited by Picasso, Pollack, and Warhol.  

Your task in the game is to restore a formally pioneering artist colony to its former glory by renovating the buildings, inspiring the artists, and selling their works (or helping them perform in the case of the musicians and dancers).

As seasons change, you uncover clues of the past that you can use to exploit the artists' passions and guide them through relationships, jealousy, and rejection.   It's quite a deep game.  We'll tell you the moment the game is released but for now, you can view the screen shots and chat about the game in our forum.

Big Fish Games has been down all morning due to a fire that broke out at Fisher Plaza, the largest data center in Seattle. Posting on GameBoomers.com, Big Fish Games Founder Paul Thelen said that power was out to the whole building and urged fans to be patient.

 

"The building is under several feet of water and they will not tell us when it will restore power," Thelen said. "We are in process of transferring all our data to our backup datacenter, but that is a 12 to 18 hour process as we have thousands of servers and massive databases of info to transfer.

 

"Fisher plaza is the hosting facility for hundreds of companies, so this is a major Internet disruption."

 

We'll keep you posted on any new developments.
