Christian Whitehead, the developer behind the excellent retro throwback Sonic Mania, has co-founded a new development studio named Evening Star.
Based in Los Angeles, Evening Star's goal is to develop 'fresh, fun games which will stand the test of time.' Whitehead will serve as creative director and lead engine architect, and will be joined by Dave Padilla, Tom Fry, Hunter Bridges, and Brad Flick.
'Every member pursues a goal to make their own great games. By encouraging strong technical foundations in every discipline, members are given a voice and latitude to impact games in unique ways. By reinvigorating gaming history's more cunning techniques, the team boldly explores directions long since left behind,' says the blurb.
In addition, Whitehead is bringing over the technology that was used to power Sonic Mania to help fuel Evening Star's Star Engine and Star SDK.
