Lighthouse Interactive Game Publishing BV
Overview
Lighthouse Interactive Game Publishing was a Netherlands-based international video game publishing company with offices in Montreal, Toronto and London, England. The company was founded in August 2005 by
Erik Schreuder and
Steve Wall.
Important games published by the company are
Keepsake,
Sword of the Stars and
WWII Battle Tanks: T-34 vs. Tiger. The general focus was on adventure titles and strategy games. The company also managed the
Ship Simulator series.
In April 2008
SilverBirch, Inc. announced that it would be acquiring Lighthouse as its first step in building an integrated video company. Near the end of 2008 Lighthouse was hit by a double setback. Mother company SilverBirch had financial trouble and the trade of stock was halted in December. In the same month, Lighthouse's UK distribution partner
Pinnacle Software Ltd filed for bankruptcy. On 23rd March 2009 Lighthouse sent out a press release that it had been officially declared bankrupt.
The rights to the then upcoming strategy game
East India Company had already been sold to
Paradox Interactive, and
VSTEP, the studio behind the Ship Simulator series, got back the rights to the games.
