Former WayForward staff forms Yacht Club Games

Former WayForward staffers have started a new indie game company called Yacht Club. The developer hasn't announced its first game, but it's teasing it with silhouettes and a promise of a PAX East presence.

WayForward has carved out a name for itself with charming retro throwbacks. Sean Velasco, the director of various WayForward games like A Boy and His Blob and assistant director of Contra 4, has formed a new studio with some other various former staff members. The developer calls itself "Yacht Club."

Yacht Club hasn't announced its first game, but teased something with a set of pixelated silhouettes (above) on its Twitter and Facebook pages (via Destructoid). The official site claims it was formed in 2011, so it's apparently been quietly waiting to make a splash. The studio is teasing a presence at PAX East in a few weeks, so we'll probably no more about what it has to offer then.

      Awww, I loved Wayforward games just the way they were. It was on my list of "studios I love to see blossom"

        Well, going by the article, Yacht Club formed in 2011. I personally thought last year's Double Dragon Neon was outstanding, so maybe there are two studios to watch blossom.
