About the Developer

Freehold Games is an independent game development studio that was founded by Brian Bucklew and Jason Grinblat. While the studio was officially founded on March 1, 2013, they had been working on Caves of Qud together since 2007. Artist Jaana Heiska joined Freehold Games in 2012 during the creation of Mad Ball.[1]

Their previous games are Sproggiwood, also a story-driven roguelike, though with a far different aesthetic and theme, and Mad Ball, the winner of the 2012 Something Awful GameDev Challenge.

Both developers have made several talks about the development and techniques used in Caves of Qud which can be found here.
