Adam and Dax met up in the Windsor Castle pub in Sutton and talked about what they wanted to do with their lives. By the end of the day they'd both agreed that they wanted to make really really good games with a small, talented team of developers. Adam came up the name 'Whatboy' right there on the spot.
Trials of Fire had been simmering in Adam's head for a while, but it all came spilling out at EGX Rezzed, 2019 when we showed it off to gamers for the first time. That was a good day. Trials of Fire then launched on Steam in Early Access a few days later
After almost 2 years in development (and some incredible collaborations with a group of about 5 freelancers) Trials of Fire emerged out of Early Access and into full launch on Steam and Epic Games Store.
Following a short break to recover after Trials of Fire, we started our next game, Stellaris Nexus. Now in full development and looking awesome, we're expanding the Whatboy team.
