Clover sows Seeds

Shortly after Capcom announced the dismantling of Okami developer Clover last year, it was revealed that two of the studio's big names--Viewtiful Joe producer Atsushi Inaba and Devil May Cry director Hideki Kamiya--had already left the company in search of "fresh challenges."

They appear to have found one, as the pair are listed on the Japanese language site for upstart developer Seeds, along with fellow Clover veteran and Resident Evil creator, Shinji Mikami. While Kamiya and Inaba had left Capcom entirely, Mikami last year was still working for Capcom as a contracted producer.

According to Seeds' Web site, the studio was formed in August of last year with Inaba as president, and has so far grown to employ 51 people. The group is even looking to expand more, 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."

Clover Studios is expected to be officially dissolved next month. Remaining staff has recently been working on the PAL versions of Okami and God Hand.

Happy days...

So, does this mean they made their own company?

Thats what it appears to be.

Sweet, we might just get Okami/God Hand 2.

....With a touch of Devil May Cry thrown in for good measure.

This is good to hear. I look forward to seeing what comes out of this new company.

I do too, I just hope they either stay exsclusive to Sony or go multiplatform since I doubt I'm going to be buying a Wii/360 any tmie soon. That being said, I doubt they'd make games on the 360 anyways, but the Wii they probably would.

That's interesting. So I guess Capcom didn't shut down Clover, they just finished a studio that didn't have anything left in it.

That's pretty awesome. I can only pray that Devil May Cry (or at least what makes Devil May Cry awesome) remains alive.

Bring Okami to the Wii.

Seconded. I'm looking forward to what else these guys will come up with.
