  • Comment: Bloomberg source is excellent. But that's just one source, and none of the others appear to be significant. Appears to fail WP:NCORP in my eyes. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 15:21, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Upon reviewing all cited online sources, all mentions of the company are solely passing mentions. What makes the company notable aside from the games it has produced? ~Liancetalk 00:43, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

History

Following the closure of 38 Studios, Joe Mirabello opened his studio in 2014 and started working on a FPS game Tower of Guns which received great reviews.[1] Following the success of Tower of Guns, the studio started work on a new project entitled Mothergunship[3][4] as it began to be released on July 2018 with a mixed to average reception.[5][6]

In 2020, Joe Mirabello moved away from the FPS games to make a new original game, 3 out of 10, which was a new experimental project that was inspired from his odd experiences at 38 Studios and was made as the world's first playable sitcom, making it part gameplay and part animated show.[7] It was released later on March 2021 for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch.[8] A second season of the game was released next year around April. By May 2021, the studio signed a deal with dj2 Entertainment (now under Story Kitchen) to make a television series based on their successful sitcom game.[9][10] However, there hasn't been any word about the adaptation so far as it was either scrapped or put on hold during production.

On March 2022, the studio started to work on their first VR game from their 2018 FPS shooter titled Mothergunship: Forge and was released on June 2022 for the Steam VR and Meta Quest 2.[11] In July 2022, Terrible Posture Games collaborated with Skybound Games to assist on the story for Genvid Interactive and Pipework Studios' The Walking Dead: Last Mile as a free game on Facebook Gaming.[12] By November 2023, the studio developed and published a new game with Skybound Games again on PC but as a RPG/Visual novel titled Invincible Presents: Atom Eve with features an original story focusing around the character Atom Eve.[13]

In 2024, however, the situation for the small indie studio was looking grim as conversations with publishers and venture capitalists were not leading to any funding upon pitching new games not leading anywhere.[14] Thankfully, with a partnership with company Nerd Ninjas on the support of funding, their next game, Battle Train, was chosen to further supplement development costs via a Kickstarter campaign, which met its funding goal on October 22, 2024 before having the publish rights brought off by Bandai Namco to be released on July 2025.[15] Following their release, the studio decides to do something different with another game, Good Boy, which they release a small Steam playtest before going into Early Access by November 2025.
