Melbourne, March 13, 2013: <\/b>Three <\/b>former senior developers at EA\u2019s Firemint game development studio today announced they have formed Loveshack Entertainment<\/b>, a new studio focused on pushing creative boundaries and developing more personal projects.\u00a0 The team also revealed debut project, Framed<\/b>, an innovative narrative-based puzzle game in which players must rewrite the story, a twist on a hard-boiled procedural.<\/p>\n
Loveshack Entertainment\u2019s Joshua Boggs<\/b>, Adrian Moore<\/b> and Ollie Browne<\/b> are veteran game developers with particular experience in mobile and PC games. Boggs and Moore shared the lead development role on Firemint\u2019s SPY mouse<\/b> and between them the trio have worked on award-winning titles such as The Movies<\/b> (Lionhead Studios), Populous, Theme Hospital<\/b>, Syndicate Wars<\/b> (Bullfrog), Rolling with Katamari<\/b> (Namco Bandai) and Real Racing 2 and 3<\/b> (Firemint\/Firemonkeys).<\/p>\n
\u201cJosh and I really clicked when we worked together on SPY mouse. But we were also both finding that whilst we loved working at Firemint, we wanted to stretch our creative muscles outside of a larger company,\u201d said Adrian Moore, co-founder of Loveshack Entertainment. \u201cWith Ollie joining the team, we\u2019re now ready to unleash our love on the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team\u2019s debut project, Framed <\/b>is an innovative puzzle game set in a noir comic book world. Presented as an animated storyboard and played in \u2018chapters\u2019, each panel depicts an important action or event. After watching the scene unfold, players can rearrange the order of the panels, changing the way the events play out and the outcome of the narrative.\u00a0With each action \u201cframed\u201d by the last,\u00a0context is everything.<\/p>\n
In pre-production for the last six months, Framed has received funding from both Screen Australia<\/b> and Film Victoria<\/b> and is targeted for release on tablets and PC in late 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
