Junction Point: A Studio Profile

Excitement is high for Disney Epic Mickey. No one’s more excited than the team working on the game. (Well, maybe us.) But who are these guys? Who is Junction Point? Warren Spector’s new game studio is full of great talent, and we sat down with a few of the key developers and find out just a little bit about who they are. The video is also bookended with Spector giving some philosophy about running a studio. Sometimes it’s nice to meet the minds behind a game.

All month long, we've been featuring extra content from Epic Mickey including an art montage and a time-lapse. You can find it all at the Epic Mickey hub.

  • Working with people as a team being more important than talent...

    Without sounding like too much of an ass, that's actually kind of inspiring.

  • Great I cant wait for this game. In my wait for this I will be playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii

  • Looks like Spector has assembled quite the team.

  • Cool. It's good to hear that the studio is focusing on making the game fun, rather than being all corporate minded about everything. I can't wait until we start seeing trailers for this!

  • It's great to know a little bit about Spector and his team.

    I was in awe that most chose Oswald over Mickey.

  • Sounds like a good group of folk. Now, talk to the tiki cup.

  • i want it. i love mickey in fact i was almost named after him

  • Good video.  Actually, all the videos that have come out of the redesign have been great.  I've really enjoyed watching them.  And should I feel bad that I had no idea who Oswald was?  I went and googled him.  He looks a lot like Mickey.

    Iceap12, If you're interested in finding out who Oswald is, you might enjoy our history piece on Mickey Mouse. I didn't know a whole lot about Oswald before working on this story, but it turns out he's a pretty fascinating part of Disney history. You can check out that article at:

  • Dude! This is gonna be EPIC! please work with SquareEnix and bring us KH3!!!

  • well it seems lik they now how to work the team lets hope Dsiney doesn't cancel the game for beign too dark and not disney-like haha

  • Awesome family? yea.

  • I agree somewhat with Snake, " working with people as a team being more important than talent..." At the same time I disagree, I feel that you do need great teamwork but if your team sucks, then your not going to get anywhere. Team work can be formed through compromise. But talent on the other hand I think is a much bigger matter. If you have a team with talented members, then you can do something great.

  • its cool that theyr all close. and friends like that.

  • I'ts cool to actually see someone from DigiPen, because I've heard of it, but never actually seen someone from it. But a Junction Point designer? Wow.

  • Dear God why am I moving to Houston and not Austin!?
