Former Electronic Arts executive D2C games founder">Scott Orr and technology expert Bart Besseling founded D2C Games, a new video game developer that focuses on making downloadable games taht can be played socially. D2C Games aims to partner with other companies to make games for various platforms, such as next-gen consoles, handhelds, 3G mobile devices and PCs. Scott Orr says that what will set his company apart from the others is social networking, "allowing users to create game content and personalize the game". He says that D2C plans to cater to both the hardcore gamers, who might be looking for something new in their gaming experience, and the casual gamers, who simply don't have the time to devote hours to a game.
"It goes back to basics, and being able to easily pick up and play a game without having to figure out or have to read a 50 page manual. We wont have one," he said. Orr also added that his company will focus on two specific areas, with casual social sports on one end and episodic sci-fi on the other.
For starters, Orr and his group plans to throw support to Sony's handheld, and will officially be announcing D2 Comics at the upcoming Game Developers Conference. D2 Comics will offer interactive comics to PSP users.
Coming up from D2C is Chalkboard Sports, a series of real-time strategy sports games, which will use the company's focus on user generated content, though specifically what this content will be remains unknown.
