Early history
Sassybot was formed on March 8th 2012 with the intention of turning our dream and passion of game development into a living. At the time, all of the current Sassybot members were studying Independent Game Development at the International Game Architecture & Design course in Breda, The Netherlands. By now, some of our members have graduated and are directing all their effort into growing Sassybot.
After that
During our time at the game academy we got to know each other and appreciate working together. Besides working together on assignments and projects, we also started participating in game jams where our team grew individually and collectively. Every project left us more knowledgable, skillfull and in-tune with one another than the one before. By now, our catalogue spans nearly half a dozen games that we are proud of demonstrating.
