Tom Stone launched Second Star Games after departing his role as chair at FuturLab. The former managing director spent nearly two decades at TT Games creating LEGO-branded titles before his recent transition. Stone assembled a team of 18 employees to develop games based on licensed properties for younger audiences.
The studio plans to begin with Peter Pan and Neverland content. Stone acknowledged the demanding work culture at TT Games while reflecting on years of intensive development cycles. He suggested that fewer releases with higher quality could have achieved a similar level of commercial success.
Second Star Games aims to build a portfolio similar to TT Games' licensed catalog. Stone reported receiving numerous inquiries from intellectual property holders after announcing the studio. The team consists largely of former TT Games staff who share his vision for collaborative development.
The studio emphasizes sustainable work practices and ambitious design goals. Stone stated the group wants to create memorable experiences that families can enjoy together. Production on the Peter Pan project has already begun, with challenging technical features under consideration.
