Dayton was an artist for Toy Story 3 and Qualtieri was the technical director on The Incredibles. Hoffman was a modeler for the Pixar TV series Mater’s Tall Tales.

UK-based publisher Ripstone will be publishing the studios first title, Flyhunter. The title is due to be released this summer and the platforms are not known at this time.
