Two Point Studios

We have interviewed several people who have worked, three of the lead people, including Mr. Molyneux, remotely for other projects.

We did a podcast interview about Two Point Hospital, which was, is it Mark Webb and Gary Carr, I think, are the two guys who started Two Point Studios.

I may have gotten their names jumbled maybe, but I think it was.

And of course, Peter Molyneux, we interviewed for our Black and White documentary as well.

[swoosh] The big story of the week, for me at least, 'cause it took ages [laughs] to edit down into a easily digestible article, is this interview I did with Alexandre Pelletier-Normand, who is the boss of Rovio and also now the COO of Sega West Studios.

So he's now in charge of Sports Interactive, Creative Assembly, Two Point Studio, and a bit more of Sega West, which is Sega Europe and maybe a little bit of America too.

And the interview, which took place at Gamescom, was based on the whole idea of Rovio having this rebuild.

That was the term it used in May when Sega, its parent company, said that the $775 million acquisition of Rovio had failed to create economic value, and the studio is rebuilding.

Rovio isn't helping Sega with the live ops or marketing of that game anymore.

So it seems to be on the back burner a little bit.

And then we end with potentially some Two Point Hospital, Two Point Museum games coming to mobile.

Another go at the Total War games coming to mobile.

I can absolutely share with you my game of the week.

My game of the week has been Two Point Hospital, the full health collection.

Because I fucking love Two Point.

I love the Two Point franchise.

I love the fact that people from Bullfrog came from Theme Hospital and are working with Two Point.

They are Two Point.

It's fucking great.

Love it.

But, uh, the other story, uh, that I was reminded of, like talking about, uh, Nice Guys to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang essentially being a spiritual successor.

We talked about the Two Point series yesterday, which I've already kind of feel like I've kinda hit the limits on.

It's fun, but the management's a little bit out of control right now.

Uh, they actually started in the late 2000 teens, that studio, but it was a spiritual successor to a game called Theme Hospital, where you like, where it was a management game for a hospital with like dry British humor and all this stuff.

But for whatever reason, this Theme Hospital was incredibly popular.

Was like the game that the kids grew up with in the UK.

In the UK, and so this Two Point series, whether or not it's the developers that worked on it, I'm not sure, but it's definitely considered a spiritual successor.

There's always like a game that kids play that nobody else plays.
