Former Bungie men Michel Bastien, Damián Isla and Rob Stokes have formed their own company, Moonshot Games, and announced plans to start making downloadable games.
Bastien had been production lead on Halo 2 and 3, while Isla was the series' AI and gameplay engineering lead and Stokes did writing and mission design. They're joined at Moonshot by a Seattle artist, Mike McCain.
"The Moonshot team firmly believes that the stars need not be limited to multimillion-dollar projects supported by armies of ground crew," it says on the official website.
"There is a place in history for that small, nimble craft, built smartly on a modest budget, and piloted by expert hands."

They must already have some working ideas for them to be able to put up money to form studio, would not be suprised If we ll hear from them again within 18 months or less! iPhone perhaps a starting point? Multi platform dlc Market?!

Amazing website and great name, very evocative. Now if only they focus on something PC-compatible (boy that does sound retro - that's what it has come to I guess), I'll be interested. Probably some sort of XBLA/iPhone stuff coming up, though, console-exclusive and featuring a general finger-weaving towards the PC crowd. If not, please let me know - I'll be in my bunker.

Hidden posts make the whole comments section fucked up, the amount of people who reply to hidden threads and if your not logged in you havnt a clue whats going on. On topic however good luck to the fellas hopefully they wont need a publisher because they will be downloadable, meaning they keep creative control, games wont be as dumbed down and they can charge me less ;-) One can dream |

Guess they were sick of working in huge teams for big budget games like the Halo series.
