A brand-new indie studio has appeared! Tribute Games has launched in Montreal, formed by ex-Ubisoft and Eidos employees Justin Cyr, Jonathan Lavigne and Jean-François Major. Lavigne announced the new venture on his personal blog.
“Jean-François Major, Justin Cyr and I have been working together for several years and we also developed Wizorb together during the past 6 months. So, we decided to join forces and form our own video game company. Justin is an awesome pixel artist, animator and aspiring sound designer and Jean-François is our mastermind programmer,” he wrote.
“We chose the name Tribute Games because when we make games, we want to pay tribute to all the cool games from our childhood. We’re passionate indies aiming at making entertaining games with a focus on pixel art and classic game design (sometimes with a modern twist).”
Wizorb, the title mentioned in the post will be coming to Xbox Live Indie Games this month. No concrete release date has been given.
