Project Title:
Project Genesis
Description:
We’re a small company of dedicated developers who are shipping-focused (a number of us come from triple A publishers and a whole range of indie games, so releasing games is in our blood). We’re ambitious and stoked to make an impact on the game industry by creating fun and novel games across multiple platforms (mobile, web, PC, Xbox, and PS4 eventually). Our current title is called Project Genesis and is a genre mashup that strives to combine 3rd person ship-to-ship space combat and FPS play aboard giant capital ships into one game (like old school Star Wars Battlefront II 2006).
