Former Call of Duty community manager and creative strategist Robert Bowling has formed his own development studio, called Robotoki. Currently hiring talent, the new studio expects to reveal its first project later this year. It’s developing for consoles, mobile and PC.

According to Bowling, Robotoki wants to focus on “creating a universe first, experiences second, and game mechanics last” so that it can produce “experiences that transcend platforms and genres and allow our players to connect to our world, their characters, and gameplay via any medium”. Which all sounds rather grand, doesn’t it? 

“However, how they experience the world is unique to their device,” continued Bowling. “The mobile / tablet experience should not mimic the console or PC experience, it should be additive to it, not supplemental. Allowing them to support their console and PC experience, continue their progression, but by experiencing the world in a meaningful and unique way.”

“Our focus is creating an experience that is no longer strictly single player, strictly co-op, or strictly multiplayer, but adapting the strengths of each of these into a unique experience that is fueled by the actions and contributions in each.”

Bowling reckons the studio will provide “an environment where the creative vision holders hold complete control over their work and could guide and maintain it from concept to execution.”

Bowling became the public face of the Modern Warfare series thanks to his work as community manager and creative strategist for Infinity Ward. However, he announced his departure from the role in March. Looks like this is what he was up to.
