PopCap vets form mobile games company Fixer Studios

PopCap veterans Avery Alix, Eric Olson and Christopher Langmuir have formed a new mobile studio called Fixer Studios.

The firm plans to employ "a constantly fluctuating workforce of veteran volunteers," reports GI International.

The studio has 30 members at present and its formation was inspired by the "indie game-jam spirit," so it will encourage developers to participate in all areas of development. The firm's titles will be built using a "collaborative cloud" model.

Sinister Dexter is the firm's first project, and is a wizard game with strategy elements. Players will need to defeat villains and challenge friends in duels using nothing but wits.

Players will also collect magical cards, and it was developed as a spiritual successor to the pen-and-paper game Spellbinder.

It is slated for release on Android and iOS this spring.
