ShortRound Games started by ex-Black Rock staff

Following RoundCube Entertainment, another studio has been created by former Black Rock Studios employees. ShortRound Games includes game director Andrew Hubbard, technical director Kim Burrows, technical art director Stuart Pharoah, and creative and art director Steve Uphill, according to GI.biz.

“We’ve just been made redundant from Black Rock which has given us a great opportunity to achieve what we all came into this industry to do; make games that we want to play and in the way that we want to make them,” says Hubbard.

“As for publishers and platforms, we’re in talks with various publishers but not ruling out being self published and are keen to release on iPad or even Sony’s Vita. One thing that we know is that we want to make games that really suit the platform, there’s too many iOS games that don’t feel natural on a touch screen and leave you yearning for a joypad.”

It’s always nice to see industry members shift from big-studio development to smaller-scale operations, and it sounds like ShortRound’s heart is very much in the right place. Best of luck.
