Description

Cubicorn Games is a small indie studio located in Metro Detroit Michigan. We want to make small fun games and help build the growing indie developer community in the Midwestern US.

History

In the Beginning

After meeting at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, Dustin and Lorraine graduated with BSEs in Computer Science with concentrations in Game Design in 2013. After graduation they founded Cubicorn Games in 2014 and began development on two projects: Down the Drain and Super Cucumber.

Croudfunding to Present Day

In 2015 Cubicorn Games ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to help cover travel costs to GDC and development hardware. A few months later Dustin and Lorraine got married and continued game development in their spare time over the next few years. During this time, they showed off their projects at local events including Youmacon in downtown Detroit and Maker Faire Detroit in Dearborn. From 2014 on they have been yearly guest speakers for the University of Michigan-Dearborn’s Game Design classes and have become part of an up-and-coming indie game scene across all of southeast Michigan.
