About Ghost Ship Studios
The Story
In a distant past -- before man yet spoke of this thing we call time -- a gnarled grey lump of hillside sat defiantly amidst the haze-shrouded swamps of what would become "Chicagoland". Upon this hill slimy things went about their slimy business. Their tiny slimy minds could not possibly have been prepared for what was about to happen...
Lifting his tiny (and slimy) face from the rock it had until that moment been licking, Peanut the speckled newt saw a thing the likes of which he had never before seen...
BAM
A ghostly vision seeped through the dense swampland in impossible silence -- an English Galleon of at least a thousand tons, with a full armament of demi-cannons and a clamoring crew of ghostly pirates... and vikings... and possibly ninja.
At any rate, it was pretty scary, and Peanut promptly packed up his things and left town, never to return to the site of this forboding apparition.
Perhaps a million years later
Ghost Ship Studios, Inc. was formed in 2006 by Tim Scheiman and Shawn Seil on that very same hill for the purpose of creating great games and bringing those games to you. We're pretty sure that the significance of the location isn't lost on anybody. This page is dedicated, in loving memory, to Peanut.
