Ex Call of Duty creative strategist Robert Bowling forms new studio

Guest

Quote :: Former Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling is working on a next-gen game at his new studio, Robotoki. In an interview with Game Informer, Bowling explained the goals of the new development house, both as an employer and a creator.

Robotoki will announce its first title in 2012, and in addition to appearing on PC and mobile devices, Bowling and company will be creating it for next-gen consoles. Whether this is for Wii U or an unannounced platform remains to be seen. Depending on the timing, the self-funded studio's debut effort could be the first title we see running on the next set of hardware.

"However, how they experience the world is unique to their device. The mobile / tablet experience should not mimic the console or PC experience, it should be additive to it, not supplemental," Bowling said. "Allowing them to support their console and PC experience, continue their progression, but by experiencing the world in a meaningful and unique way."

One of Bowling's more interesting reveals is that, "As a developer, our focus is on creating a universe first, experiences second, and game mechanics last." Tailoring experiences to platforms as well as the number of players is important to Robotoki as well.

Bowling also has high standards for himself as a leader. "We are focused on our team first and everything else second," said Bowling, who continued, "we have a lot to learn on how to treat talent" as an industry.
