Via Kotaku from the studio's Tumblr Three former Maxis developers have founded a new studio called Jellygrade, and their first game is coming to the iPad; they're calling it Tethys for now. There's little to say at this point, as the game is only in the early stages of development. But this should be exciting for fans of Spore and SimCity as the team is sticking with the sim genre: "We're making a simulation about the dawn of life on earth; about lava, water, rock and the emergence of the first primordial creatures." There are a few more pieces of concept art on the Jellygrade Tumblr. Anybody else excited? I've always enjoyed Maxis games and the concept sounds interesting.
