Will Luton leaves TinyCo

Will Luton has left TinyCo after spending just under six months at the company.

The British developer and free-to-play guru joined the studio in October in a creative position, but has today revealed that he has departed the causal game maker.

“I have left TinyCo and wish the company the best of luck in to the future.” Luton tweeted, adding that he is currently “exploring a number of options”.

"I part the company on great terms and remain here in Vancouver, while I explore what’s next," he told Develop. "I plan to be at GDC."

Luton had worked at Bristol studio Mobile Pie as well as contributing columns to Develop, before going freelance to consultant and work on a book about free-to-play games.
