Listen Later

You've heard of the gaming greats like Blizzard, EA, and Sony PlayStation. But there's a new studio in town that's shaking up the industry with a radically different approach. 🔥

Meet Muddy Robot Games, founded by gaming veteran Chris Hood after leaving his cushy job at Google. Hood has assembled an all-star team of industry legends from top companies like Apple, Lucasfilm, and Atari. This "dream team" is on a mission to recapture the pure joy and innovation that gaming was built on. 🎮

Hood reveals the gaming industry has lost its way, becoming too focused on profits over creativity. But Muddy Robot is flipping the script with a bold new strategy:

"We just wanna create fun worlds and do things differently than the industry has grown into. The business side has caused challenges - we need to reset and get back to that joy of play and innovation." 💥

How are they pulling this off? By developing groundbreaking new game technologies that will power not just their own titles, but be licensed to other studios too. It's an ambitious plan to shake up gaming from the inside out. 🚀

Their first game is already in development, with more top-secret projects in the pipeline. With such an all-star crew and revolutionary vision, it's no wonder industry insiders are buzzing about Muddy Robot.

"We've got talent from the biggest names like Apple, Blizzard, EA, Atari, Sony, Lucasfilm and more," Hood teases. "These are people who just want to create amazing games again without the business constraints." 🌟

Get ready gamers, because a muddy robot revolution is coming to a console near you! And it's going to be an absolute game-changer.
