The casual gaming market is really huge. All the big game developers as well as publishers are targeting the casual gamers as it is not something that would be ignored! Now video games news website GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that Gas Powered Games too will be targeting the casual games market.
Chris Taylor is the founder of Gas Powered Games. At an invite-only lunch at GDC, he explained, “I am curious about how to get a game out to the 200 million people that have been downloading Peggle and all of these ‘match three’ games. That’s what I’m going after. I have been cooking something up. Those users want something a lot more sophisticated but as simple. We cannot complicate simplicity. It is the idea that depth and complexity are not directly linked. And if something’s simple, it is not boring.”
Gas Powered Games is well known for making role playing as well as real-time strategy games. The studio has worked on games like Supreme Commander and Dungeon Siege. They are presently working on the Space Siege game for the PC, which will be published by Sega.
