Who are Robust Games?
Our mates at Robust Games, Adam and Joseph, skipped past the usual sibling rivalry and founded Robust Games in Early 2021. Loco Motive is their debut title. The title begans as an ambitious game jam project inspired by point-and-click games they loved as kids. Seeing the beautiful pixel art and humorous dialogue, we couldn’t wait to collaborate with them to further develop this homage to an unsung genre in gaming history. With their collective experience (Adam was an Artist at Chucklefish, working on titles such as Starbound and Wargroove, and Joseph was a Lead Software Developer for 5+ years), we know Loco Motive is in good hands.
