Ex-Cryptic employees' indie studio, Mob Rules Games, has no idea what it's doing
Three former Cryptic Studios employees have founded an independent, open and honest game-development studio titled Mob Rules Games -- and they have no idea what they're doing. Literally. Rick Dakan (Cryptic Studios founder, original lead designer for City of Heroes and former Joystiq freelancer), programmer Jonathan Wills and artiste Austin McKinley have three game ideas that are all apparently so awesome that they can't decide which one to make first, so they're having the players choose for them, via the trusty old fundraising platform, Kickstarter. The three games up for development are Guerilla Gorilla, Haunts and The Last Second, all of which are detailed in the above video. For every $1 you pledge on Kickstarter, you get 10 votes that are good for the life of the company, meaning you can provide input to Mob Rules for more than just this one round. Mob Rules plans to make all of its content open under Creative Commons, and will release the source codes for every game after its release. But don't trust us -- hear more about the philosophy behind Mob Rules from Dakan himself in the brief interview below:
