Mike Laidlaw, former creative director for the Dragon Age series, has founded a new studio in Qu\u00e9bec City with Thomas Giroux, Jeff Skalski, and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric St-Laurent B. Each is a game industry veteran with over 15 years of experience.<\/p>\n

The new studio, called Yellow Brick Games, is looking to take a “back to basics” approach to game development “centered on the pleasure of crafting new game experiences, in a flexible and more personable environment that an independent studio can provide,\u201d said Giroux, Yellow Brick Games’ CEO. Laidlaw acts as chief creative officer, Skalski, who served as Senior Producer at EA and Ubisoft, is the studio’s COO and executive producer. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric St-Laurent B, who has worked as a game director for Ubisoft Quebec over the last decade, now serves as game director on Yellow Brick Games’ as of yet unannounced first project. <\/p>\n
