<p>Nestled in the scenic beauty of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, our app development company
has been thriving since 2012. We are a team of passionate developers, designers,
and innovators who love what we do and where we do it from.</p>

<h2>Our Love for React Native</h2>
<p>Our love for <a href="https://reactnative.dev/">React Native</a> is no secret. This open-source
mobile application framework has been our go-to tool for creating most of our
applications. We've even developed our own base project, lovingly named
<a href="https://github.com/ckc-org/skeletor">Skeletor</a>, which serves as the backbone for
many of our projects. Skeletor allows us to streamline our process and deliver
high-quality applications to our clients.</p>
<h2>Evolution into Game Development</h2>
<p>While we started as an app development company, our passion for creating engaging
experiences has led us to venture into the realm of game development. We've had
the opportunity to work on a variety of exciting projects, each one pushing our
creative and technical boundaries.</p>
<h2>VR Skydiving Simulator</h2>
<p>One of our notable projects is a VR Skydiving simulator, available on
<a href="https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/2552134034912884/">Oculus</a>. This game
was developed by one of our engineers, an ex-NASA intern, who built a whole
physics engine for the simulator. The result is an incredibly immersive experience
that gives users the adrenaline rush of skydiving without leaving the ground.
This project showcases our commitment to creating user-centric experiences that
push the boundaries of technology.</p>
<h2>MacroAir Project</h2>

<p>Another project we're proud of is MacroAir, a tool for visualizing fan air movement.
We're using <a href="https://www.babylonjs.com/">Babylon.JS</a>, a powerful, beautiful,
simple, and open 3D engine, to create an awesome 3D modeler in JavaScript.
This project is a testament to our ability to leverage cutting-edge technology
to solve real-world problems and deliver value to our clients.</p>
<h2>Twitch-Integrated Godot Game</h2>
<p>One of our ongoing projects is a Twitch-integrated game developed in
<a href="https://godotengine.org/">Godot</a>. This project is a testament to our commitment
to innovation and our desire to create games that not only entertain but also
engage the community in new and exciting ways.</p>
<h2>Our Latest Project: A Cat Roleplaying Game</h2>
<p>Our latest venture is a cat roleplaying game that we're incredibly excited about.
This project, <a href="https://www.pawborough.net/">Paw Borough</a>, allows us to combine
our love for gaming with our love for our feline friends.</p>
<p>We've made significant optimizations in our cat generation process, improving from
generating one cat per second to a hundred cats per second. This means we're able
to generate around 10 million cats per day on a single processor!</p>
<p>This wasn't an easy task, but we believe in doing things that are important,
even if the odds are not in our favor. We're working hard to create a game
that is not only fun to play but also captures the quirky and lovable nature of cats.</p>
<p>We're proud to share that Paw Borough was funded for approximately $90k on
<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tbpt/paw-borough-the-feline-virtual-browser-rpg">Kickstarter</a>!
This is a testament to the support and love we've received from our community.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>From our humble beginnings in Coeur d'Alene to our expansion into San Diego and
Spokane, our journey has been nothing short of exciting. We've evolved from an
app development company into a game development company, and we can't wait to
see what the future holds.</p>
<p>We're grateful for the opportunities we've had to work on such diverse projects
and are excited to continue creating unique and engaging experiences for our users.
Our approach has always been to deliver first and then iterate, because we believe
that done is better than perfect.</p>
<p>We're a team of badass developers growing year-over-year, and we're just getting started.</p>
