When Capcom announced late last year that Clover Studios – the developers behind the wonderful Okami and Viewtiful Joe – was going to be dissolved into liquidation, the news that three former members are set to return back to making games brings joy to the video game industry.
Seeds is the new name of the company set up by Viewtiful Joe’s Atsushi Inaba, Resident Evil’s Shinji Mikami and Devil May Cry’s Hideki Kamiya.
According to Seeds’ official website, the studio was formed back in August 2006 with Inaba as president, and has so far grown to employ 51 people. The group is even looking to expand, with the site hosting a call for producers and creative talent.
“We are a group of creators who have already created colorful products,” the site reads.
“Now, standing on new ground, and even as the soil has changed, our passion to pursue new play [fun] hasn’t changed. We are challenging ourselves on a global scale to create entertainment products with a new, fresh feeling. We need more seeds.”

Great news, I loved Clover Studio’s as their designs and gaming concept were fresh and they were not afraid to push things through. Lets hope they can make some games on the Wii as well sometime ^_^
