But it hasn’t been all rainbows and unicorns for our team of intrepid founders.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our Humble Beginnings<\/span><\/p>\n In 2013, ClutchPlay became one of six companies selected by the Portland Development Commission for the\u00a0PDX Startup Challenge<\/a>, which was a program designed to nurture promising startups in the City of Portland. \u00a0We were truly honored by the vote of confidence from our hometown and are deeply committed to making our city proud.<\/p>\n What’s Next<\/span><\/p>\n It’s been an incredible couple of years for us as a company and there’s a lot more yet to come!<\/p>\n We have two new titles in the works, set to launch this year. \u00a0The first of these two fine works is Skullduggery!,\u00a0an atmospheric, fling-based physics platformer with an endearingly grotesque art style. \u00a0 It is insanely fun. \u00a0Trust us, you’re going to want to play it.<\/p>\n We’d tell you about our second title, slated for a summer 2014 release, but it’s just too awesome. Seriously, it’s for your own good. \u00a0Your head would explode from the goodness that is this game.<\/p>\n Visit our blog<\/a> or follow us on Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, and LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0for more exciting news about our upcoming games.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ClutchPlay Games is an independent game developer, located in not-so-sunny yet idyllic Portland, Oregon. \u00a0We make ridiculously fun games for the mobile devices (iOS and Android) as well as PC and Mac.

<\/a>The company was founded in 2012, when the studio we’d all been working for was unceremoniously downsized. \u00a0At the time, it was the only major game studio in Portland so we were left with few options. \u00a0We could change careers, we could all move to cities with better job prospects in gaming, or we could stand our ground and fight to rebuild our studio here in Portland. \u00a0Without hesitation, we opted for what was behind curtain number three and ClutchPlay Games was born.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/clutchplaygames.com\/cp\/wp-includes\/js\/tinymce\/plugins\/wordpress\/img\/trans.gif\" "\\"More...\\""){kind=spacer}
