Ex-Infinity Ward Man Sets Up New Studio
Robert Bowling talks and talks about new development studio.
"We worked for hours on this logo experience moving forward."
Robert Bowling - the former mouthpiece for Call of Duty developer, Infinity Ward, who resigned in March of this year has set up a new game development studio calle Robotnik... no, wait, it's called Robot Bowl... no, it's really called Robotoki.
Mr Bowling talked some words about this to GameInformer:
"Robotoki is focused on being a developer development studio that just happens to make games", he says in what appears to be a sentence.
“We are focused on our team first and everything else second because I believe as an industry we have a lot to learn on how to treat talent. While we continue to out stride film and music entertainment in other areas, we are falling severely behind in how to properly inspire and support our creative talent."
So, Mr Bowling finds himself in the enviable position of not having to make money. Awesome!
He then breaks down what Robotniky will be trying to do. He does this in the style we've all come to love and fear:
"As a developer, our focus is on creating a universe first, experiences second, and game mechanics last.
"With focus being on universe, we aim to create experiences that transcend platforms and genres and allow our players to connect to our world, their characters, and gameplay via any medium (console, PC, or mobile)."
He then goes mad, seemingly caught in a strange mental state where the word 'Experience' must be said at least once every other word:
"However, how they experience the world is unique to their device. The mobile / tablet experience should not mimic the console or PC experience, it should be additive to it, not supplemental. Allowing them to support their console and PC experience, continue their progression, but by experiencing the world in a meaningful and unique way."
