Veterans from Wideload Games, Disney Interactive, and Gearbox Software have formed a new studio called Fun Machine. The developer has already released Awesome Eats, which has already seen over 800,000 downloads on the iPad and iPhone.
“The next generation of gaming isn’t going to come on a disc or be bought in a store. It’s going to be downloaded and streamed to every screen in your household – and in your pocket – in the blink of an eye,” says Patrick Curry, CEO. “Smart phones and tablets are changing the video game industry in fundamental ways. Forthcoming smart TVs are going to complete the transformation, creating a single ecosystem that lets you play games across small, medium and large screens. We’re creating games that play within this ecosystem, and the technologies that let them.”
“This is an exciting time to be creating games and original intellectual properties,” said Michael Hadwin, Fun Machine’s President and Studio Director. “Our technology lets us focus on innovative ideas and instantly test them across several platforms and devices. One lesson from the console industry that still holds true: iteration and polish always win.”
