Former members of Black Rock Studios have formed a new outfit called ShortRound Games referred to as a "micro-developer" by GamesIndustry.biz (registration required). The company is based in Brighton, England, and consists of game director Andrew Hubbard, technical director Kim Burrows, technical art director Stuart Pharoah, and creative/art director Steve Uphill. "As for publishers and platforms, we're in talks with various publishers but not ruling out being self published and are keen to release on iPad or even Sony's Vita," Andrew Hubbard tells them. "One thing that we know is that we want to make games that really suit the platform, there's too many iOS games that don't feel natural on a touch screen and leave you yearning for a joypad."
