Brash Entertainment Sued by Two Developers
November 18, 2008 | 10:30 AM PST

It would appear that the troubles which lead to the short-lived Brash Entertainment closing aren't over yet.
7 Studios and Zootfly, two independent developers working on projects for Brash, have sued to try and win money they're owed. L.A.-based 7 Studios says Brash owes it $468,000 for its work on "9," an adaptation of an upcoming animated film from Focus Features produced by Tim Burton (one of the few games on Brash's slate I didn't previously know about) and $113,000 for "Six Flags Fun Park," (pictured left) a Wii and DS mini-game collection that's supposed to be coming out right about now (has anybody seen it on shelves?). Slovenian developer Zootfly, meanwhile, says Brash owes it $748,000 for work on the videogame version of the Fox TV show "Prison Break." -- Variety's The Cut Scene
The article also notes that 7 Studios CEO Lewis Peterson was hopeful that Fun Park, which was not originally a Six Flags-branded game, would see release, as he believes it was the best game they'd ever produced, describing it as a cross between Animal Crossing and Carnival Games. An interesting mix.
Apparently Brash inserted the Six Flags license mainly as a cosmetic addition just a few months ago in hopes that would help boost sales (and also, I guess, maintain Brash's stated mission of only working with licenses).
One should never make licenses their top priority; comic book company Dreamwave did pretty much the same thing, and they wound up where Brash is now. It's clearly not a good idea to be reliant on the IP of others.
