About Us

Ponderosa Games is a tiny indie game studio founded in 2024 in a small town in Colorado.

Tisa

Tisa grew up in Colorado and enjoys reading, gaming, and doodling. She's a word nerd and loves cats! Tisa spent six years working as a software engineer in the corporate world, where she developed back-end software and desktop applications. Starting Ponderosa Games was a way to combine her love of coding with her passion for stories, puzzles, and art.

John

John, also a life-long Colorado resident, enjoys programming, 3D graphics, and tinkering. He worked for many years in software development. That became unmanageable due to chronic health concerns, so he decided that partnering with an indie game company might provide a better life.

Cats

The team wouldn't be complete without the cats, Simon and Olive – expert coaches, companions, and constant sources of inspiration!
