On August 26th, Beijing time, Justin Roiland, co-creator of the popular animated film "Rick and Moti" was one of the early supporters of Oculus at the time of crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Recently, Tanya Watson, the game producer of the former Epic Games, joined hands to create a new VR studio and named it "Squanchtendo." The name is a combination of "Nintendo" and "Squanchy". Squanchy is a character in Rick and Motie.
Rick and Motie
He had previously helped the Adult Swim cartoon channel to create a game about Rick and Motie. In addition, he also participated in the production of a virtual rake game named "Virtual Rick" in the Owlchemy studio. But what he's good at seems to be design rather than programming and production, but fortunately Watson is good at both. While working at Epic Games, he was involved in the production of Fortnite and Bulletstorm. "War games, quality is not bad.
Although the new studio is not yet open, Roiland, who has recorded three major ideas about his VR games, has begun to plan. He had previously said that he wanted to try to make players and non-player control characters in the virtual world naturally. There is no limited interaction. Now, Roiland's top priority is to recruit painters, engineers, designers and other talents for the newly established studio.
