About Feral Cat Den
Feral Cat Den is a collective of artists, animators, designers, and developers who dream of nesting in a derelict barn. Currently residing in a small studio in Brooklyn, the Collective makes games, animations, web things, VJ things, gin, and numerous other side projects, all based on a mission to fuse animation and interactivity, and create visually rich and tactile games.
Founded by Evan Anthony and Jeremy Abel, who met while studying New Media Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology, the Collective’s first game was FriendQuest, a 16-bit RPG starring friends and collaborators.
Pre-production on Genesis Noir began in 2013 on weekends and after hours. In 2014 a prototype was created in Unity, allowing Jeremy and Evan to test the interactions and aesthetics of the game. In 2016, the pair went full time on the game, switching development from Unity to Unreal.
