Danish the developer is most known for the Forced series, two successful campaigns on Kickstarter and the recent Minion Masters project around which one of Discord-communities in the world was formed. The studio steadily gets profit, however raises additional resources of aggressive investment for the purpose of creation of the genre focused on friendship strengthening.

The command was always fascinated by opportunities of joint adventures, both behind one system, and on network. Besides most of developers still enjoy games, but already reached that age when the reaction speed, the number of free time and unoccupied friends decreases. Having rethought a situation, the studio opened for itself a loneliness problem, but also saw in it an opportunity, we just treat first generation of adults who know what is video games.

the Loneliness becomes more relevant: In Great Britain was appointed the first minister of loneliness recently. It was called and recognized epidemic of the 21st century. In such countries as the USA, China and Great Britain over 50% of adults suffer from loneliness. The loneliness is much more terrible, than itself can think. It is directly connected with the risk of death increased by 26%. The solution is in establishment of friendly relations with people who will become a part of your life and will separate with you your interests. We consider that for the future generation of adult games this ideal solution, it is already used for younger generation. Connection with the help of the headset renders the excellent socializing effect and often leads to the subsequent personal meetings. All this requires special approach to game design. It is fine when social and business interests match. We are sure that it is our case.
