Former Maxis Devs Form New Studio [Jul 16, 2013, 8:09 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The awesomely named Ocean Quigley took
to Twitter
to announce his departure from Maxis, where he served as creative director and
art director for the new SimCity. He announces he's forming a new
development studio called Jellygrade with two more Maxis veterans, Andrew
Willmott (previously engineering lead on SimCity, Spore, and The Sims) and Dan
Moskowitz (previously lead gameplay engineer at Maxis/EA). He
says he
still has a lot of affection for Maxis, which
was a good
studio to work for, but that "after
SimCity 3k, SimCity 4, the Sims, the Sims2, Spore & the new SimCity, it was time
for something new." He
says
they hope to make PC games, but their first project is a tablet game
he
describes like so: "We're making a simulation about the dawn of life on
earth; about lava, water, rock and the emergence of the first primordial
creatures." Thanks nin via
Kotaku.
Dust 2?
I would prefer a god game, similar to Black & White. I wish them the best of luck. On a related note, I'm looking forward to At The Gates =D
