Playdemic founders Paul Gouge and Alex Rigby have unveiled ForthStar, their new mobile free-to-play game studio, following the remarkable success of Playdemic's Golf Clash, which was acquired by Electronic Arts for a record-breaking $1.4 billion. With $10 million secured from Griffin Gaming Partners, ForthStar is well-funded for the development of their upcoming game.

Although the details of their first game will be revealed more than a year from now, the founders are focused on assembling a top-tier team, drawing talent from Playdemic, including key figures who contributed to Golf Clash's 150 million installs. The Manchester-based studio emphasizes creativity, innovation, and exceptional gameplay in their mission to create games loved by millions.

Paul Gouge stated, "Our mission is clear: to make great games that millions of people love to play every day for years." With a strong emphasis on studio culture and nurturing creative talent, ForthStar aims to replicate the success they've achieved in the highly competitive mobile gaming space.

Alex Rigby, ForthStar Co-Founder and Creative Director, highlighted their ability to leverage over two decades of mobile gaming experience, establishing a robust foundation for innovation and success. Rigby and Gouge, with a track record of successful studios, including the sale of Playdemic to Electronic Arts for $1.4 billion, have proven their capability to thrive in the dynamic mobile gaming industry.

In summary, ForthStar, backed by $10 million in funding, is poised to make a significant impact with a focus on creating exceptional games and fostering a creative, winning studio culture.
