ABOUT THE TEAM
The Studio
We’re a team of 3 former fellow students that started with several projects together and made this game prototype as a students’ project. With the three of us we have all main departments covered. Vincent is our programmer & project manager, Josie is our artist and Alex is the game & audio designer.
The Game Hub
We’re from Hamburg, Germany and our main support comes from the Gamecity Hamburg with their prototype funding and incubator program, as well es their Road To Programs for conventions. We also get a bit of support from the career starter of the HAW Hamburg and had some support from the Kreativ Transfer.
