No. Big Ape is working on some tool development stuff for Lucasarts, but we're also producing the Simpsons Wrestling title for Fox Interactive, due around Christmas of this year.
We're trying to line up another deal for our next title, but Lucasarts apparently is satisfied with Big Ape just producing tools for them.
Don't get me wrong, I'd really love to do another SW title, but I'm not so sure that LEC is overly thrilled with us right now. TPM sold well, but they were really hoping for a blockbuster, which it wasn't. I think a big reason for TPM's lackluster sales (only in a Star Wars game could 1.7 million or so be called lackluster

Not to say that the game is an incredible game without flaws; we could have done more than a few things better around here at Big Ape. But a lot of the things that TPM was hammered for in the press was stuff that LEC wanted by design, yet somehow we alone were the ones that screwed up :P
