Just a quick one: several of the big names behind Clover, the hugely creative studio shut down by Capcom last year, have banded together to form a new developer named Seeds. The roster includes Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, Atsushi 'Viewtiful Joe' Inaba and Hideki 'Devil May Cry' Kamiya. They've set up a website already and are right now probably brainstorming a vampire skateboard sim with a graphics style based on 17th century Ukiyo-e art.
In other start-up news, fashion designer Marc Ecko, who previously lent his name to the graffiti sim, Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure, has set up his own studio - Marc Ecko Entertainment. "Our goal is to expand creativity in videogames - we want to try brand new things," Ecko told reporters. I wonder how many new studios don't have that aim when they start out?
