Indie Game Development
Rob Targosz started Eragion in 2011 to develop games and apps for mobile and desktop platforms. Eragion released three apps. Plummet is a simple ball drop game for Windows Phone released in 2011. Celerity is a performance testing app for Windows Phone released in 2012. Lost Keys is a platform game released for Windows Phone, iOS and Android in 2011-2012.
In 2013, Rob created Bent Vector from Eragion as focus moved away from XNA game development to Unity 3D engine-based games. Bent Vector plans to release new games every year starting in 2014. Releases will run on the wide range of platforms supported by the Unity 3D game engine.
Our first title using the Unity 3D engine is Word Portal. See the full page for details and download links.
