Welcome! We are Micah and Janelle. We've been married since 2018 and have a shared interest and passion for art, design, 3D art, animation, and video games.
We started this business in late 2018 and want to build a business together that shares our stories and art with others. Our first game launch will be "Blackguard Squadron", a brainchild made from Micah's love of aviation and the men and women who pioneered flight.
We also have a game that we plan on developing in the future. We are calling it "Psychoid". Psychoid is inspired by our shared experiences with depression and trauma but with a sense of humor and imagination. We are so excited to be on this journey together and we hope you all enjoy the ride with us!
About Micah: I am a computer programmer, artist, and graphic designer. I have always had an interest in aesthetics in Film as a visual storytelling medium and particularly in traditional 2d animation. As a child of the '80s, I developed an early appreciation for the golden age of Japanese animation through such shows as the first generation of Transformers and the original Voltron. My introduction to video games came through Super Nintendo, and eventually as a young teen when my parents bought our family a personal computer. It was through the PC that I was introduced to the early Lucas Arts masterpieces like X-Wing and its diabolical (and nearly perfect) successor TIE Fighter, and the brilliant adventure games the company was known for.
Today I spend my days with my lovely and talented wife Janelle and stepdaughter Vienna, along with our adventurous and too-playful-for-his-own-good cat Cosmo. Together we share a passion for mental and physical health, the mysteries that lie at the edge of human knowledge, and the interconnected web of relationships between human life and the universe at large. As game developers we hope to infuse this into the games we design, all the while broadening what is possible as storytellers and interactive creators.

About Janelle: I have always loved art. I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be an artist. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Animation. I love plants and animals. My daughter, Vienna, is my motivation and my reason for never quitting.
I am passionate about self-growth and healing. As a trauma survivor, I want to share hope and understanding with others. I believe in being authentic and while I have accomplished many things my CPTSD has slowed my blossoming. Which I am learning to accept. We are all going through something, and we are all capable of wonderful things. My husband, Micah, has been extremely supportive of my artistic abilities and believes in me and I am incredibly grateful for that.
Loves: Music, art, kitties, plants, gardening, owls, and wolves.
Dream: To have a homestead
Favorite Games: StarCraft (Zerg), Apex Legends, and MMORPGs.
I play Apex Legends regularly. (Wattson Main) I am not a professional, lower your expectations kids. I just love to game.
