Dear Reader:
Planet Moon developing more Wii titles, but aren't giving details
A portion of a Gamasutra interview with Chief Operating Officer Aaron Loeb…
GS: You’re working on Wii now, having moved away from PSP — is it the platform you see as being good for original IP?
Aaron Loeb: We will work on any platform where we can explore fun, new ideas. We are currently developing for other platforms in addition to the Wii, but nothing has been announced.
As a company, we’re focusing on a portfolio approach recently. We have a really big game in development (unannounced), medium games (like Battle of the Bands) that takes 16-18 months, and smaller games (like Smarty Pants).
It’s working well for us, as we learn and change our procedures based on lessons from the different game projects. For instance, our company has moved to the SCRUM project management system based on experiments done with it by the After Burner team (a PSP game we made with Sega).
Having multiple teams on multiple platforms enables us to improve or processes, our working conditions, and our games.
