Who
The company's two founders, Pete Bratcher and Steve Oldacre have extensive experience in game and technology development.
Pete is a technology expert with strong mathematical skills and extensive experience in delivering cutting edge solutions and optimisation.
Steve has a strong background in building, organising and managing teams and also has considerable programming experience. Both have proven track records as contractors and as such are used to delivering in difficult circumstances.
Technology
Our in house technology is designed to enable projects, rather than be the focus of our work. We use proven open source solutions wherever possible because we've seen the wheel re-invented too many times. We believe in keeping everything as light weight and decoupled as possible allowing the technology to be easily adapted to new situations.
We have been asked if we'd use external technology in the past and we have no qualms about this. Customers only care about the game, not how it was built or what technology it is powered by.
