Entering VR field Justin Roiland established VR studio

Justin Roiland, a co-creator of the popular channel "Rick and Motey" in the animation channel, is preparing to enter the VR field. Together with former Epic Games' game producer Tanya Watson, he has created a new VR studio and named it "Squanchtendo". . The name is a combination of "Nintendo" and "Squanchy". Squanchy is a character in Rick and Motie.

Both Roiland and Watson want to create in VR. Watson left Epic in April 2016 hoping to form a team of her own, and Roiland has been writing his own inspiration for the game for most of the past two years.

Roiland said in an interview with gamesindustry.biz that he himself has “about 8 sketchbooks”, and now he can finally turn these concepts into reality. They did not disclose the ongoing project, but Watson said: "A moving action comedy RPG."

Both of them love VR's young and fast-growing platform. Roiland was one of the supporters of the Oculus crowdfunding project, and Watson had a keen interest in this technology after experiencing HTC Vive at a conference.
