The wording is a bit weird, our next project? they haven't even released their first yet. When The Initiative said their studio would remain "small and agile" I had wondered if the studio is basically going to act as an incubation factory, multiple teams with senior staff, coming up with a project idea and then outsourcing the bulk of development out to other studios, The Initiative leads the vision but outside studios build it. I don't want to read too much into that job posting wording but I think that is still what The Initiative may be regardless, would explain why they're growing so slowly. |
Yeah, i think The Initiative is going to work like Mistwalker. They will come up with the concept, story and gameplay mechanics and offload the development to support studios.
