Tony Takoushi has been working in the games industry for more than 30 years, working with various studios including Sega Europe, Codemasters, and Australia's own Halfbrick (creators of Fruit Ninja). Now though, he says the time has come to branch out on his own.
...so he's done just that, kicking off his own independent studio, Total ArKade Software, based in Brisbane.
After 10 years, Halfbrick is releasing a sequel to much loved side-scrolling endless runner game Jetpack Joyride. The sequel is titled 'Jetpack Joyride 2: Bullet Rush' and it follows the same fundamental as the original game, but at the same time is filled with a lot of new content. But is it any good? will it be able to get the same love as the original game?
After four years of running a satellite studio, Australian game developer Halfbrick has announced it is downsizing, and closing its Sydney location. The Fruit Ninja developer will instead focus its attention on its Brisbane headquarters, where it has a number of games in development.
Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride developer Halfbrick is kicking it old school in its next game: Dan the Man is a pixel art brawler based on studioJOHO's popular web-cartoon of the same name.
