Paris-based developer White Birds has announced that its latest project for the Wii™ console is being built on Qube Software’s ‘Q’ platform.

The title, called Crazy Garage, is a cartoon style ‘party game’, inspired by TV shows like ‘Pimp My Ride,’ and features a number of mini games.

White Birds started using Q in December and the title, which is now at Beta stage, will be completed in the next few weeks.

The deal makes White Birds the first studio in France to adopt Q.

“Among the features that led us to choose Q were the interface-driven philosophy (QCOM), the ease of use of QStudio for artists and the quality of the Maya exporter,” said White Birds’ Lead Developer, Damien Kochanek. “We appreciated the modularity it offered, which was perfect for a party game like ours.”
