Atsushi Inaba Founded a New Video Game Studio Called Seeds

Atsushi Inaba is known as one of the masterminds (the other being Shinji Mikami of Resident Evil fame) behind such creative games as Viewtiful Joe and Okami. Sadly, although these games from Clover Studios were well received by the critics, they did not sell as well as Capcom had hoped. That was probably one of the main reasons why Clover Studios was dissolved.

Inaba has now founded Seeds, a new video game developer which already has about 50 people on its team. It's unclear whether the studio is independent right now, but their website is now up (although it is in Japanese). Hideki Kamiya, another important creator behind Clover Studios, is also involved with Seeds. The composer behind many Resident Evil games and Okami, Masami Ueda, is also on the Seeds staff.

Seeds is looking to grow, perhaps into an even better clover, as it is currently in the recruiting stages. Lead by three experienced video game masterminds and one of the best video game composers, Seeds will likely be a name to look out for in the video game world.
