We assume that's opposed to those other types of fun, "BearFun" and "HamburgerFun." Goodman previously founded <em>Orcs Must Die</em> and <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/hero-academy">Hero Academy</a> </em>developer <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/14/ensemble-studios-founder-creates-robot-entertainment/">Robot Entertainment</a>.<br /><br />PeopleFun is based in the Dallas area and includes the talents of Angelo Laudon, lead programmer on the Age of Empires engine, and John Boog-Scott, co-founder with Goodman of Ensemble Corporation and Studios. PeopleFun's first title is almost ready for beta and "is a departure from the games we made at Ensemble and Robot in terms of scope and genre," Goodman says.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/18/age-of-empires-creator-starts-another-studio-this-time-for-mobi/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Age of Empires creator starts another studio, this time for mobile</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/18/age-of-empires-creator-starts-another-studio-this-time-for-mobi/">Age of Empires creator starts another studio, this time for mobile</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 18 Jul 2012 02:00:00 EST.
