Overview

The company were on the original 1993 list as "Lifelike Software".

Lifelike Productions were a multimedia agency focusing on games, they produced several demo discs for the 3DO (As well as Playstation and Namco). They also produced Kiosks (Including the original Panasonic 3DO Kiosk sampler). Interestingly on their site, they state this:

"We built the original interactive kiosk for the Panasonic 3DO player for the 3DO Corporation. We started off by making an application launcher as well as debugging the original 3DO CD photo player. Then we built and integrated menus and art. There was a lot of art processing involved and we had to keep an open and informative communication going with the developers of the applications which were featured on the sampler."

Lifelike seemed to be involved on a deeper level with 3DO, they also mention they have M2 experience too, but lists nothing else about the ill-fated machine.

Lifelike seemed to also at one point be a porting company too, but then seemed to switch into more of the Magazine demo/kiosk specialist.

I cant see why the company wound up, the CEO left in Sept 2012, and went out of the games related industry with the company officially closing 2 years later.
