Ahead Of Launching Its First Title, Idle Games Poaches Zynga’s Lead CityVille Designer

In September, social game developer Idle Games launched on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt San Francisco, declaring that they were on a mission to become "the Pixar of casual games." The startup's first title, Idle Worship, is a throw-back to Peter Molyneux and EA's Black & White, except, instead of finding it on a PC, Idle Worship will make its home on that social network everyone's talking about. Like Black & White, gamers get to play the role of a god, lording over villagers on an island in whatever way you choose -- you can be a vengeful god, or a forgiving one. Both in its first title, and in the games it plans in the future, Idle Games is looking to provide a better alternative to the stale social games already out there produced by the bigs like Zynga.
