History

Unreal Engine has hosted the Epic Mega Jam since 2015 and our small studio has participated every year. This year was no different and we were excited to see what we could create in the 5 days allowable. The first few days were spent hopping between different ideas, but when someone suggested a simple hide and seek game it all just clicked. 

​

The bears were molded in the form of the Great Bearicus Maximus and the shadow from our deepest fears of dust bunnies. Within 5 days we had a solid game loop with abundantly adorable art. 

With baited breath we waited a grueling week for the results of the game jam and were elated when they called our name and game as a finalist for the Epic Mega Jam 2017. Not only did it give us faith in our ever growing abilities to make fun games, but helped us decide where we want to go next as a studio. 

Now we are working to create even more content and polish the fun game play with an estimated release in 2018 and can't wait to see where this road take us!
