In other words: The Digital Nature engine (which was built from the ground up) exists only because of capital from Neoqb in a time when investors believed classic flightsims were still viable. In the end, their gamble and hard work did pay off, as they are now working with 1C on IL-2, which I believe was always the intention of both Jason and the original Gennadich Team developers. They never got rich off of RoF, but they did save the product from going under completely and they're the reason Rise of Flight is still alive today.

Then in 2010, when Neoqb was about to go belly-up as Rise of Flight turned out to be completely unviable with its classic business model, Jason of 777 salvaged the product, got rid of all the excess workforce, then continued with a core team of developers (rebranded 777 Studios), and gave us such badly needed features as Offline Mode, multiplayer Dogfight (there was only Coop before then) and turned RoF into a viable business model with the Store.

In 2009, Rise of Flight launched, first in Russia through publisher Noviy Disk, then localised in English in the US through publisher 777, and finally in Europe through publisher Aerosoft - personally I couldn't wait for the European release, so I had my copy imported from the US at the end of June, which cost me a pretty penny in import taxes, but at least it made me one of the first European players of the game (save for a very few who ordered the Russian copy even before that).

In 2008, the rebranded Rise of Flight product was officially announced.

In 2007, they were bought up by Neoqb, who gave them a capital injection and lots of extra manpower to finish building their engine, in a time when people still believed in the viability of a classic business model flightsim such as IL-2 Sturmovik 1946.

In 2006, they announced their prototype WWI flightsim Knights of the Sky, using their own in-house Digital Nature engine.

Gennadich Team formed in 2004 to develop IL-2 Server Commander which became hugely popular with the IL-2 community.

Neoqb/777 have done a fantastic job in creating a bunch of virtual WW1 aeroplanes and an environment in which to fly them - and the flying is the key to hooking people in, not the history.ħ77 did not build Rise of Flight, Neoqb did.Īt least I get to copy-paste this again for the new guys (and the not-so-new suffering from inexplicable amnesia): Lastly flightsimmers are the only realistic market for RoF. CloD was dead in the water on release, whilst RoF/BoX are living games, so there is no need for a TF-like resurrection.

Having done that they found RoF to not be financially very successful (despite several times altering the game to suit its communitiy's wishes), so they moved on to the potentially more lucrative WW2 market.Īlso, they're enthusiasts rather than hard-headed businessmen - maybe they just wanted to make their ideal combat flightsim and thought that others would like it tooĪs a result of them needing to safeguard their livelihood, and the integrity of their flightsim, they're not going to open the code to modders. Leaving it up on Steam for people to find is certainly not a marketing strategy given that Steam houses thousands of games most of which come and go like night and day.ħ77 Studios did not initially develop this game - they took over from Neoqb. This is why I maintain that we as a community must do our own marketing to re-invigorate the game and if successful will indirectly place pressure on 777 Studios to see that a market still exists for their creation. Nothing was done to attract people to the simulation outside of this community leaving historians and other potential interested parties such as modelers out of the equation. Remember also, that Rise of Flight was also not well marketed since it was only to the game community that was targeted. Otherwise to build such a beautiful piece of software, without even knowing their market well enough to understand if it could sustain them financially, again makes little sense. I am of the opinion that Rise of Flight will eventually be farmed out to a partner organization similar to that of Team Fusion, who will implement the updated 777 graphics engine and extend the game. In that case, why not just build the engine for WWII sims alone?

To simply take its graphic engine and update it for their WWII sims only to leave the WWI sim behind does not make a lot of business sense.

According to their own admission it cost a frightful lot of money to develop this simulation. One has to wonder at times why 777 Studios even took the time to build Rise of Flight.
