Apparently undaunted by massive multiplayer online game Tabula Rasa's demise, game developer Richard Garriott gets back into the scene with a new social networking venture called Portalarium.
According to a press release sent out just ahead of the 2010 DICE Summit where Garriott is a panelist, Portalarium "has a broad-based, open-social mission that will also see it expanding into content that includes open learning, open health, open science/environment, open government and much more, all wrapped in a connective virtual world in the online social networking space." For now, though, it's a social game publishing house.
It's first product, Sweet @$! Poker, is available on Facebook now. More casino games are in the works and CenterPort, the virtual world on which Garriott's venture is founded, will go live later this year.
GamePro reporter Dave Rudden has an interview with Garriott at DICE this week where we're sure he'll tell us all about the new venture and maybe reveal more games for the service. Keep an eye on our 2010 DICE Summit coverage for details.
