Former Rockstar Games developers announced yesterday that they are working on a casual online social boardgame called Push.

Push will be a “stylish and addictive” turn-based browser game that allows friends to compete against each other using social networking sites such as Facebook.

“After almost 10 years of developing big budget, AAA titles such as Grand Theft Auto and Max Payne for Rockstar Games it is a breath of fresh air to focus on developing independent games with a direct connection to our fans and players on social networks around the World,” says Helmut Hutterer, CEO of Socialspiel.

“Our goal … is to develop richly crafted online games, with high quality production values and appealing experiences for players and their friends to enjoy throughout their daily life online”.

The company was founded in early 2010, with their base of operations being Vienna, Austria.
