Capcom decided to dissolve Clover Studios (Okami, God Hand, Viewtiful Joe). Clover Studios decided no thanks and have created their own company, with some other big names like Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil ) and Hideki Kamiya (Devil May Cry).
Translation of "Message" on Seeds Inc website reads:
Atsushi Inaba. Hideki Kamiya. Shinji Mikami. And a specially selected staff.We are the Seeds that caused the vibrant flowers Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Steel Battalion, Viewtiful Joe, and Okami to come into bloom.
Although we alight upon a different earth, even though the soil is different, our hearts -- closely pursuing the dream of "play" -- have not changed.
Now, with a renewed spirit, we want to once again challenge the world of entertainment. But to do this, we need many, many more seeds.
So, we are currently searching far and wide for people who want to work alongside us. For people who want to build their future. People who are currently making games elsewhere.
Would you like to make some "preposterously amazing" games with us?
Definitely going to be one to watch. I just hope Seeds first title gets some serious recognition because if they make another "cult" game they’re going to be in trouble.
