ABOUT DEVELOPMENT 

Dream Grenade Games was founded by Game Design students Jordan Funk & Jean-Luc St-Pierre. The studio was founded to create a vertical slice of a video game as a final school assignment. The final gold build is available to the public for Beta testing to gather feedback and help make Wind Digger accessible by players of all skill levels. While further development of Wind Digger is currently on an indefinite hold, we aren't ruling out coming back to it in the future either :) 

Your honest feedback and suggestions are very much appreciated and will be used in the future should we continue with the development of this project!
