“The most important thing to communicate is that nothing is really changing for Crash Games other than we are ‘leveling up’ in a big way,” said Crash Games Founder, Patrick Nickell. “While I will always be grateful and thankful for what Kickstarter did for me, and it did a lot, we will not be using crowd funding as a consistent business model in the foreseeable future. I am super excited about having a defined brand for the type of games we publish moving forward and for having a team of people to join me in our journey to bring games that unite friends and family by bringing them to the table.”
Crash Games was founded in Phoenix, Arizona in 2011 by Nickell, named “Crash” because, according to the company’s website “Crash is the designation given to a group of rhinoceros.” The company’s existing catalog includes more than 10 games, including Council of Verona, Pirate Den, Dead Drop and Yardmaster. The company plans to publish six new games in 2016.
