Bio
Hi, I'm Max, an indie dev trying to make his dreams come true. I have a degree in physics from UC Irivine and worked as a home insurance appraiser for a while, before quitting to make this game. I'm also into board games, soccer, some books, some podcasts, and walking my dog. Flock of Dogs will be my first commerical release. I began work on it after my roommate and I were very upset that Halo 5 had no local co-op, which I think is kinda funny. And so, like Kermit the frog before me, I hope to make millions of people happy with my art.

History
The idea for Flock of Dogs began in April 2016 with the goal of creating a larger, couch co-op game that could support at least 4 players locally, preferably more. I wanted to focus on game mechanics that actually rewarded cooperation and provide an experience deeper than most local multiplayer games available. When I was a kid, I played Overboard! for the original Playstation at a friend's house. We took turns controlling the pirate ship, but I thought it would be the most amazing experience if we could have crewed the ship together. So that, plus Loves in a Dangerous Spacetime, plus Star Fox 64, plus Dr. Seuss, plus Overcooked, plus Power Rangers, were my original inspirations. Then after Sea of Thieves was announced and released, Sea of Thieves also.
