Former Mediatonic Team Members Launch Kindred Spirit Games

A newly-established UK game development studio, Kindred Spirit Games, has emerged from stealth mode, founded by Mediatonic veterans. Megan Ralph, design director, and Joel Herber, technical director, announced the studio's launch on LinkedIn, revealing that it was established six months ago. Both Ralph and Herber have a shared background, having previously collaborated at Mediatonic, the developer behind Fall Guys, where Ralph served as lead level designer and Herber as lead client engineer. They also worked together at Land & Sea, an independent game studio founded by Team Alto veterans in 2020. At Land & Sea, Ralph held the position of senior game designer, bringing her experience from Interior Night and the now-defunct Sony London Studio. Herber, on the other hand, was the lead programmer, with a background that includes Dream Reality Interactive and Plug-In Media. In a statement, the co-founders expressed their enthusiasm, saying, "We are channeling our passion and expertise into our debut title, and we look forward to sharing updates on our progress and showcasing what we have been working on."
