Two Tribes announces a reboot for the company
Posted on January 8, 2014 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News
Toki Tori 2 developer Two Tribes announced a reboot for the company today.
Below are the clear-cut facts, as presented on the studio’s official blog:
- The old Two Tribes B.V., who employed the developers, is now gone.
- Its parent company, Two Tribes Publishing B.V., that owns and publishes all our games and handles all contracts, remains unaffected.
- A new daughter company has been formed and it will handle the development of future titles.
- The original founders Martijn Reuvers and Collin van Ginkel aren’t going anywhere.
Two Tribes says that “nothing much will change” for the general public. Behind the scenes though, there’s a lot that won’t be staying the same.
Two Tribes wrote:
We’ve got a ton of hindsight to work with and we’re going to be applying the lessons we learned to the new Two Tribes. Behind the scenes things will change quite a bit. We’ve decided to move away from creating custom technology and focus on what’s readily available. As a result we’ll be working with a much smaller team on our next game, a 2D side scrolling shooter, which will be re-using the existing Toki Tori 2+ engine.
Our focus will be on the design of our games, which we plan on making more of in less time than before.
