King's Tommy Palm leaves for new venture

Tommy Palm, the public face and "Games Guru" of Candy Crush Saga developer King, has left the company to start a new studio, Resolution Games.

Speaking to Venturebeat, Palm called King "the best company I have worked for." His decision to move on is less a reflection on King, and more a reflection of his deep-rooted love of starting new companies and working with small teams.

Resolution Games, which doesn't even have a website at this point, will be the fifth company that Palm has helped to set up

"It's [a] slightly different kind of startup from some of the things I have done before," he said. "We will focus on virtual reality. That is one of our angles."

At present, Resolution has a team of three, with a fourth incoming, all of whom are based in Stockholm, Sweden.
