Ex-Zynga Boston Team Starts New Studio
The original team from Zynga Boston is announcing plans for a new iOS title from their newly-formed game development studio.
Five senior members of the Boston Zynga team put together the game development studio, Proletariat Inc. with hopes of creating quality game products with a high-level of entertainment value.
These senior members showcase resumes with such titles as Guitar Hero and Lord of the Rings Online.
"We have all known each other and worked with one another for so long that we’ve developed an organic way of making games together,” says CEO Seth Sivak. “We all want to make successful games, both creatively and as a business. This team has been on both sides and knows how to find that balance."
Sivak mentions that the team is almost ready to release their iOS game, Letter Rush.
Letter Rush will be the first game released by Proletariat Inc. and will be available next week. Letter Rush is a modern twist on the classic word-find game where players can play cooperatively or by themselves and race to the top of the leaderboards. With the completion of Letter Rush, Proletariat is already working towards their second game.
