Description
Design Imps is an independent game development studio based in South Africa. We are a talented group of dreamers and we make the games we want to play. We want to immerse ourselves in alternate realities, not to escape, but to enjoy the gift of dreaming. We also like playing and making games about being the ‘bad guy’ with some humorous undertones.
History
Design Imps was founded in 2010 by Janke and Ilana van Jaarsveld as a bootstrapping Indie Studio in Pretoria, South Africa. Through the help of friends and family and after years of paper prototypes and double jobs, the company finally started development of their first title The Creeping Madness, in 2017. To keep the project alive, focus was shifted in 2018 to create Fhtagn! Tales of the Creeping Madness, in order to secure much needed funds. The team decided to place a hold on The Creeping Madness in 2019, till the studio could grow more in size and experience and so The Endless Wyrd was born and production on this dice-based roguelite deckbuilder is scheduled to enter the Early Access phase in Q3 of 2021.
