A group of developers from the UK's Relentless Software (makers of the Buzz! franchise and the Blue Toad Murder Files) has splintered off to form a new company called Wish Studios. The developers are already hard at work on a new IP for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Relentless veterans Caspar Field, Paul Brooke, and Tom Bennett joined together to become Wish's respective CEO, CTO and CCO back in July, and are steadily working on the prototype for Sony.

The team hasn't announced anything about what the prototype is just yet, except to say that it's "playing beautifully and has enormous potential." Field, Brooke, and Bennett have plenty of experience with downloadable titles and games for Sony's EyeToy peripheral, so perhaps that's a clue. Whenever they want to tell us what the project is, we'll be listening.

We've all had our respective flights of fancy when we were kids: my brother wanted a Swiss Army knife; I wanted the power of flight and invisibility. For Jose Luis Jr. it was a PSP. Admittedly, the farthest I've ever gone with an obsession is to read everything I could about it online, but since I'm far too lazy to exert effort greater than pressing down on a mouse button, my desires have never gone past the virtual and into the real. But since little Jose Luis Jr. went so far as to cut magazine prints and make life-sized drawings of PSPs that he sold to friends for extra cash, Boing Boing notes that one kind reader started a fundraiser and got the kid his gadget.

The moral of the story? If you wish for something hard enough, even minors like Jose Luis Jr. can get the chance to run over hookers in Liberty City.

[UPDATE:] Here's the original story.
