Conker series designer developing a Wii U game

Former Rare developer Chris Seavor, who was the project lead on Conker's Bad Fur Day and Live & Reloaded, is working on a Wii U game with his indie studio Gory Details, according to his Twitter account.

".....WiiU devkits ain't cheap and it's lookin likely @GoryDetail is gonna need 3 at some point this year ;) (that's top secret btw) heh!" Seavor tweeted.

He followed up a few hours later with "So, the first 2 hours of the playthrough is rendering. Gonna release rest in bite sized chunks over the coming weeks as it gets recorded.."

Seavor, who left Rare in Jan. 2011 after approximate 20 years of service, founded Gory Details in 2011. The indie studio has developed three mobile games to date. The latest title was the top-down mobile game called Parashoot Stan, which launched mid-December for iOS with an Android release shortly after.
