Yuji Naka, the creator of the Sonic series for Sega, has left the building.

Naka will be move on to start-up Prope Studios, which the savvy amongst us might recognize as a tranfiguration of the insinuating word "Probe", but with an enantiomorphic, upside down 'b'. Supposedly, it's based off of the Latin word meaning "'beside' and 'near' future." In other words, its gibberish.

Naka hasn't left by flinging a molotov cocktail down on his bridge to Sega, though. Sega has provided 10% of the start-up capital for Prope and all signs indicate that Sega and Prope will work together in the future on any titles Naka aims to create.

No titles announced yet, but we're betting Naka didn't leave Sega just so he could be the outsource on another Sonic
