Now how did we start? I guess for many years me and my brother had created several games. When ever we would get bored we would sit down and just start making a game for us to play. This of course led to us creating several games over the years but nothing that was really worth while.
One day we were bored and had a pack of playing cards and we created a game called Hi Lo a very fun simple card game. We really enjoyed it and we worked on the game and eventually had a working model that we played with other people and they thought it was awesome. This then led to us creating a game called Futureball that is a take on 3 vs 3 American style football game but in the future and of course with robots! We created a working prototype of this game and we loved it!
This was all leading to the moment we created Simple Gump, we were talking about a card game where you had to make some one unhappy with funny quotes. This led to us creating some basic rules and we realized we was on to something great. We tweaked and tweaked the rules and the design until we are where we are today.
So far we have created 5 games that we have working prototypes for and another 7 games that we have started creating rules for. This does not mean we will launch every game as they will need to be play tested and see if they work.
The simple answer is this all started from boredom!
