Questions & Answers
What's the story behind your company?
My co-founder Casey and I met eleven years ago while working together at VHX. What started off as a friendship over playing too much TowerFall and Windjammers on the office arcade cabinet became an obsession to make games together. We've both had great success separately in our tech startups and creative projects, but have talked for over a decade about entering the games space, our true passion. Now the stars have finally aligned, and we're ready to build an incredible co-op game that we can scale efficiently with all our experience from building tech products!
