Form of workWayForward is an independent videogame developer based in Valencia, California.

We've built our reputation on solid gaming fundamentals, feature-quality character animation, and flexibility and know-how when it comes to bringing entertainment brands into the world of gaming - both original characters of our own design, or comic book and tinsel town favorites.

We want to create the most entertaining games under the sun. Our goal is to engage, delight, surprise, and match wits with gamers of all ages on whatever devices they can be found!
