John Romero is no stranger to forming new studios. From 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:iD Software to Ion Storm, Monkeystone Games to Slipgate Ironworks, Romero has been a force of a great innovatio⛄n and creation within the industry, leaving a number of reputable (if not long-dead) start-up ventures in his wake. Now, for his next trick, Romero has decided to leave the hardcore gaming scene for good and transform his newest development studio, Loot Drop, into the next big thing in social gaming.

“We have satisfied hardcore gamers for decades. Now it’s time for the rest of the world,” declared Romero in this week🍌's interview with VentureBeat. “Our opportun💧ity is to teach the rest of the world how to play games.”

That “rest of the world” is the online Facebook world currently populated by more than 600 million users who arelike FarmVille, Cafe World and Mafia Wars. It's also a world in which Romero hasalready had somesuccessthrough last year's release of his pet project, Ravenwood Fair; a FarmVille-esque social game which has attracted ovﷺer 11 mi🐲llion players to date.

Having recently secured financial backing from the casual gaming publisherRomero noted he now intends raise the bar in social game developmentby coming at it as a game designer first and a business man second. To that end, he has filled Loot🅘 Drop's ranks with other mainstream video game veterans andpast colleaguesincluding, Ion Storm's co-founder and co-designer of Doom;, a long time video game developer; and Rob Sirotek, Loot Drop's CEO and former owner of Sir-Tech Software.

In her recent speech at GDC, Brathwaite reiterated Loot Drop's ambitions to evolve the industry, proclaiming, "We are absolutely not the ones making what some of you call 'evil games.' We are th🎐e first wave - the marines storming the beach to take our culture and our medium back. As you look upon these games you will see on the very same horizon a great space of possibility. I ho🏅pe that you will someday be the occupying force."
