Liverpool may have lost Bizarre Creations but they've at least gained Hogrocket Games, made up of the former developers. Already they're busy on a project.

This new studio is supported by a "small team of contractors" which include two BAFTA winning animators. They seem to be after the digital market.

They've formed a "new micro studio based in North West England. The studio consists of Peter Collier (Senior Level Designer on Blood Stone/The Club), and Stephen Cakebread (creator of Geometry Wars), and myself," announced Ben Ward.

"Hogrocket will create high-quality games across multiple platforms, initially targeting iPhone/iPad, PC, and Mac. Our first game is underway, although we have yet to announce it. Watch this space!" Their website and twitter account is up.

We wish Hogrocket Games the very best and hope you do to.

PC is certainly the odd one out in the pack. We'll see what happens with this collection of fine talent.

Cool, more small developers that dare to push the boundaries is always wanted - hope they will be one of those.

Indeed, it looks like greedy publishers won't hold them back. ^^
