What kind of games would you expect to see from a new studio headed up by former Ubisoft Worldwide Director of Conception (Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Splinter Cell Double Agent and Rayman Raving Rabbids) and the former Producer of Tom Clancy’s EndWar? Wrong. Whatever you're thinking of is wrong. In fact, one of the friends of this new studio said that their work would be labeled "Popcap meets Nintendo."
This new studio, headed up by Emeric Thoa and Audrey Leprince, is called The Game Bakers. And no, they're not baking up anything like a Tom Clancy title. In fact, their first game will be called Squids, and it's set for PC, Mac and mobile platforms. It's an adventure title where you'll play as squids that defend the ocean from the Black Ooze. It is planed for a late 2011 release.
A press release says that The Game Bakers will focus on smaller scale projects that will take advantage of the exploding mobile market. They're wanting to get in on this touch screen action, it seems. They have been joined by senior developers and talents from the videogame world and the comic book industry.
