Based in Europe, the team consists of four members. All of us are former modders, and formed Flying Squirrel Entertainment when we decided to start making our own games instead of spending our skills tweaking other people's creations.
We are also progressive/hardcore reenactors/roleplayers and take part in living-history events all across Europe. As we come from both a gaming and a living history background, we are naturally very passionate about what we create!
