The Breakroom

Twenty five years ago this week, Talos, Corey, and I first pushed pixels into icons of our favorite Star Wars, Star Trek, and cartoon characters and published them under the name Iconfactory (Icnfactory, actually). So much has happened since then, both with the company and the world in which we live, that it would be […]

InfoBot dropped by to let us know that while everyone waits for the game to hit Apple Arcade on Friday, June 18th, the gift shop in the lobby of Frenzic Industries is open and accepting pre-orders for Frenzic apparel.

Introducing Fontcase

June 12, 2020

I’m pretty sure this is the first time we’re announcing a new product that isn’t version 1.0. I’m absolutely sure this is the first time that we’re announcing a release that isn’t our own app. Let me explain. It all began with our simple text companion, Tot.
