Renegade Software

Renegade Software is a company of edition of video game founded in 1990 on the initiative of Martin Heath and the Bitmap Brothers. The company published some notorious titles like Gods , The Chaos Engine , Z or the series Sensible Soccer .

History

At the origin of the company, one finds the president of the musical label English Rhythm King Records, Martin Heath. Its first contact with videoludic industry goes back to 1988, when a young team of creators, The Bitmap Brothers, requests it in order to use the music of one of her artists, Bomb the Bass (which one finds in Xenon 2: Megablast ). At the time, Bitmap Brothers are in full rise and they are dissociated in the medium by their artistic approach and their will of independence with respect to the traditional companies of edition. Sensitive to the considerations of the studio (and certainly to its commercial potential), Martin Heath will be interested more closely in this industry and will note the little of credit which she grants to the creators plays. Of this observation and conviction that it can assemble a viable label all being more respectful creators, Renegade Software was born in November 1990. The philosophy of the company tends to protect the artistic integrity from the developers and to grant the recognition to them which they deserve. .

At the end of the contract the binder with the English editor Mirrorsoft, Bitmap Brothers engages with Renegade. The first play to be left under this label is Gods , in March 1991. In addition to the Bitmap productions, Renegade publishes thereafter the sets of various studios like Sensible Software, Graftgold Creative, Illusion Binary or Factor 5, primarily on the market Amiga. These titles generally received a favorable reception of the press and the public.

In 1995, the company is absorbed by the multinational Time Warner Interactive and disappears under this nomination with the following end of the year.
