Dragon Age's Mike Laidlaw joins Thomas Giroux, Jeff Skalski, and Frederic St. Laurent B. in helming a new independent studio called Yellow Brick Games.
"We have learned a lot from working on world-class, multi-year projects with thousands of colleagues and we want to take a different approach," said Skalski, the studio's Executive Producer and Chief Operating Officer. "Leveraging a smaller talented team where people come first, we will create amazing worlds and experiences for all others to enjoy. The market is moving fast, and we have no desire to play catchup and chase it when we can influence where it goes. These goals drove us to found Yellow Brick Games."

With a creative vision in mind, the team at Yellow Brick Games will continue to grow in the coming months, though the "craftmanship approach" will be always at the core of the studio's vision as it expands.
"We want to emphasize a "back-to-basics approach", centered on the pleasure of crafting new game experiences, in a flexible and more personable environment that an independent studio can provide," said Giroux. "We have all the resources at our disposal to achieve our goals."
