Description
Cubicorn Games is a small indie studio located in Metro Detroit Michigan. We want to make small fun games and build the growing indie community in the Midwestern US.
History
In the BeginningAfter meeting at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, Dustin and Lorraine graduated with BSEs in Computer Science with concentrations in Game Design in 2013. They founded Cubicorn Games in 2014 and began development on two projects: Down the Drain and Super Cucumber.
Middle Years (2015-2019)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 until 2019. During this time, they showed off their projects at local events including Youmacon in downtown Detroit and Maker Faire Detroit in Dearborn.
Where are they now (2020 to Present Day)In 2020 active development went on soft hiatus for personal reasons during the height of the COVID 19 pandemic. Active development resumed on Down the Drain in 2021, culminating in its Steam Release in June 2022. After wrapping up Down the Drain support in early 2023, active development resumed on Super Cucumber, with Dustin now working full time on the project and Lorraine supporting on a part time basis. Since then Super Cucumber has been shown at game events across the Midwest and east coast (Cleavland Gaming Classic, Super MAGFest, Too Many Games and PAX East 2025) and currently has a planned release window in the second half of 2026.

Selected Articles
- "Super Cucumber is an interesting little megaman-like platformer with a cute protagonist.
The nods to the classics are obvious: fireball attack, rapid firing, dashes, air dashes, wall
jumping, and so on. The amount of combinations for the dash/jump between ground, air,
and resetting in air, was quite impressive. Overall the possibilities with the platforming felt
like there could be some nice parkour style gameplay there."
