Erick S. Dyke, President and co-founder of Florida-based studio n-Space, has tragically died at the age of 41.

A truly sad loss for the industry today. Erick has unfortunately lost a battle with cancer at 41 years old. A genuine light in the games industry and a true friend to all his peers, he will be sorely missed.

His studio n-Space will no doubt be familiar with many Nintendo gamers. The company worked to bring fans DS versions of The Force Unleashed, Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty: World at War, as well as develop Geist for Gamecube.

In his memory, a scholarship fund has been established in the university Erick studied at in Michigan. We wish to express our deepest condolences to Mr. Dyke's family at this difficult time.
