Ever heard of Alex Seropian? No? Well, it's possible you've heard of the studio he co-founded and the game he created. You know, Bungie and Halo? Ringing any bells? Yeah, I thought so.
Along with the R&D Manager from Dreamworks, Brent Pease, Mr. Seropian is starting a brand new studio called Industrial Toys. They'll be focused on bringing the core gamer crowd to mobile gaming.
So far there is little more than an announcement that the company exists, but you can follow them on Twitter (@IndustrialToys) or check out their Facebook page, where you can read the following information:
"We're big fans of mobile gaming, but we think there aren't enough great mobile games for core gamers and we want to try and change that. We'll be mobile to the core, with games that let you have an immersive session at home that blows your mind apart as well as a 30-second experience that still moves you forward while you're waiting for the bus. We're going deep on story and community and all that crunchy goodness that we like to geek out on."
Sounds pretty good to me. Who else is excited for the rise of core games on mobile platforms? Let us know what kinds of things you're hoping we'll see from this new studio in the comments section.
