Description
JoyMasher is an indie game studio founded by Danilo Dias, Thais Weiller and Marco Galvão on early 2012. We made Oniken, MRC6-454, Major Maox and participated in many others. We are currently developing Odallus.
History
How it all startedJoyMasher began when Danilo Dias, Thais Weiller, and Marco Galvão decided to join forces to make great games. Danilo is an architecture bachelor that loved videogames from a very early age and always tried to make his own games.Thais has worked with several mobile and some browser games, granting her experience in gameplay, level design and balancing games. Marco makes computer games since he was 8, and is now studying to be a Computational Mathematician.
And then...Danilo was having some problems on letting the world know about Oniken and Thais felt as she had more to offer to games making that she was able to do in Brazilian industry. Admist the way, Marco moshed in as the ninja coder JoyMasher needed and we have been happy ever since.

- Richard Glenn, IndieGame Mag - "It feels like it fell out of the late eighties, except the controls were tightened up during the voyage."
