Company Bio
Elixir Studios was founded by Demis Hassabis, who first gained recognition at the age of 16 for his work on Theme Park, with industry icon Peter Molyneux, for Bullfrog Productions Ltd. Hassabis also spent time working on Molyneux's showcase Black & White before starting Elixir.The first game developed by Elixir was the ambitious Republic: The Revolution, a sophisticated political strategy set in a large, 3D city, released in 2003. It was followed by 2004's Evil Genius, a tongue-in-cheek take on spy films which combined the base building of Bullfrog's Dungeon Keeper with the political intrigue of Republic.
In April, 2005, Elixir Studios announced it was shutting down, citing a lack of sufficient support in the game industry for small, independant developers creating original properties and products.
