Candy Crush Saga guru Tommy Palm launches Resolution Games as virtual reality studio

Tommy Palm, the former “games guru” at King and one of the designers who got credit for the enormous success of Candy Crush Saga, has officially launched his Resolution Games virtual reality gaming  studio.

The Stockholm-based studio will focus on creating “VR games that everyone can enjoy and are accessible for the entire family vs hardcore or triple A titles.” The founding team includes Palm, who was the spokesperson and games guru for King Digital Entertainment, which went public at a $6 billion on the strength of the success of the match 3 game Candy Crush Saga. Prior to that, he founded mobile game maker Fabrication Games, which King acquired in 2012 to help with the transition to mobile. Palm also founded Jadestone, the Game Trail, and the Swedish game accelerator Stugan.
