2025 - A Retrospective

First of all, we would like to thank everyone who worked with us and/or recommended us. Thank you for your trust!

In 2025, we proudly marked 16 years of making an impact on the gaming and adjacent industries. Like 2024, 2025 exceeded all our expectations in growth and company development, especially as we continue to build our loyal customer relationships based on integrity and trust.

We hope to continue our growth in projects, people, and profits this way even more in 2026.

In 2025, we moved into a nicer office space with more room for our growing team in the Solana Beach area!

We also hope to open a European office in the South of France for our European colleagues soon! Stay tuned for updates on this new office!

Like in previous years, one of the reasons for our ongoing growth is the success of our open-source rendering framework, The Forge. It now runs in even more AAA game engines, business application frameworks, and is actively used to bring "old game IP" - sometimes 20 years old - to new platforms.
