We’re an indie studio of just two people and we chose to make games because it’s fun, and we love what we do. We’re committed to NEVER following the industry standards and always finding our own way of doing things. How else could we make something UNIQUE?:)
Somehow we managed to make games that have over 20 million downloads across different platforms (all titles, all versions), and we’ll have another 20 million downloads in the future, if gamers say so.
BerkBox games is currently porting all games to an engine that best represents its values and principles. We are proud be part of the Godot Game Engine community. 🙂
