About
We’re an indie game and software development studio on the Canadian west coast. We’re currently bustin’ it to get to the finish line on our first (ridiculously large, in hindsight) project: BigFly Baseball. We also do some other 3D software work on the side. Here’s the skinny on our team:
Christian Zuger – Co-Founder

Scott Drader – Co-Founder

 I started programming at age 13, creating simple 2D games in the same vein as ‘Scorched Earth’ and ‘Heavy Weapon’. In that I found my passion, and have been cranking codes obsessively ever since. I have a degree in Computer Engineering and have worked professionally in software for 10 years, both as a developer and manager. After leading teams through several multi-million dollar software projects at a major CAD sofware company, I felt that it was time to move on. I can now focus on creating games people can enjoy playing as much as I enjoy creating them! Current personal goal: Achieve job description of ‘Code Hero!’ |
 Childhood: baseball, hockey, video games, lego. University: computer programming, making grave social sacrifices to play and/or make maps for Quake3 in my bath robe. Adulthood: software work in various industries, all 3D & graphics related. For me, starting this company (and making BigFly Baseball) is a wonderful culmination of all the stuff I’ve spent all my time doing! My ambition for us as a company is to create something awesome enough to justify having black & white stylized photos of ourselves on our webpage. |

 Having worked for 10 years at BioWare Corp., working on RPG greats like Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights and Dragon Age, I decided to strike out on my own and try something new. Since then I’ve worked as a game art contractor, a graphic designer and have started my own games company called Cedar Hill Games Inc. which has released two excellent and original titles. In short, I add graphical pizzazz and some industry know-how to the team! Now I just need to get used to the ‘speakers-to-eleven’ air guitar celebrations when we complete milestones… |
