United Game Artists, a development team of Sega has disbanded. UGA developed three of my favorite video games, the stylish fun and funky Space Channel 5 & Space Channel 5 Part 2 and the very cool Trance-music Shooter, Rez. The following letter is now on the mainpage of UGA's website:

Thank you so much for visiting u-ga.com.
Due to SEGA R&D studio's reorganization,
United Game Artists transferred its entire business into Sonicteam Ltd.
as of 1st October, 2003 JPT.

We sincerely appreciate your enthusiastic support.
Best wishes to you all!

For further information, please visit SONICTEAM

I'm quite sad about the announcement, but UGA doesn't produce too many games so I am not shocked by it either. I do not know what this will mean for the future of the J-Phone service or future sequels to Space Channel 5 or Rez. UGA was absorbed by SonicTeam so hopefully future projects by this development team will utilize the funk, flare and imagination of the amazing UGA.

My love for Space Channel 5 had inspired me to make a fanpage based on the games. I am still going to update this page regularly. Please visit my Unofficial Space Channel 5 Swingin' Web Space. I'm on track to do decent updates every couple of weeks. Also, Space Channel 5 Part 2 is coming out (finally) in North America in November for PS2. Make sure to check it out.

Sayonara, United Game Artists. It has been a pleasure.
