Double Aught was a software company founded by several former members of the Bungie Software team (prior to Bungie's acquisition by Microsoft). Founding the company was Greg Kirkpatrick, Chris Geisel, Jihan Kim, Randy Reddig, Colin Kawakami and David Longo. The company was formed in Brooklyn prior to the 1996 release of Marathon Infinity, the third release in the Marathon trilogy of video games.
Double Aught was responsible for creating the monster, physics, and weapons settings for the Blood Tides of Lh'owon scenario in the game, using the new editing tools which were subsequently released with the game.
After the release of Marathon Infinity, the company was said to have been developing another game, Duality, but folded before it could be released. Double Aught never released a game after their involvement with Marathon.
Famous quotes containing the words double and/or aught:
“I grew up confidently expecting to have a profession and earn my own living, and also confidently expecting to be married and have children. It was fifty-fifty with me. I was just as passionately determined to have children as I was to have a career. And my mother was the triumphant answer to all doubts as to the success of this double role. From my earliest memory she had more than half supported the family and yet she was supremely a mother.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“I have heard a good many pretend that they are going to die; or that they have died, for aught that I know. Nonsense! I’ll defy them to do it. They have n’t got life enough in them.... Only half a dozen or so have died since the world began.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
