Afterthought Games was started in Grand Rapids Michigan by a group of developers. We have varied skill sets but all share a common goal. We want to do this as our full-time job. We all have full-time jobs currently, though with a lot of hard work, we hope that one day this will be all we do. There are a lot of indie development companies out there and we are not that much different than any of them. We are just trying to be passionate about what we do and always have fun doing it.
