Former Tomb Raider Designers Form Lady Shotgun Games
First game to be a casual action romp.
Ladies! Shotguns! Games! All three of those words are exciting on their own, but what if you put them all together? Introducing new female-oriented mobile development studio, Lady Shotgun Games, formed by ex-Eidos Tomb Raider designers Anna Marsh and Sarah van Rompaey.
Anna Marsh spoke with Gamasutra recently, and explained that the decision to go indie was all about creative freedom and not just being "one cog in the machine." She explained, "Big projects and big companies obviously have lots of people involved and lots of hoops to jump through to get a game to release.
"It's great to be able to do something that little bit more organically, more freely, where we can put together a game that we simply think is a just lots of fun to play without trying to please all of the people all of the time." The studio will focus on iOS development, with its first project a casual action title.
"To look at the game you wouldn't say, oh, there's a team who have worked on Tomb Raider... its much faster and more casual friendly then the console titles I've worked on. We're binding it together with a great tongue in cheek narrative that makes me laugh every time I read it - I adore that you can get away with humour in casual titles. And I can say that we all have a bit of a penchant for 80's cheesy movies."
