Skymount

Skymount is an independent video game developer based in Columbus, Ohio. The company was founded by Roderick Brown and Gabriel Mendez in 2015 following a successful class project in which Brown and Mendez were assigned to create a computer game from scratch. Skymount was formed as a private entity following the success of the project between Brown, Mendez, and several other fellow classmates.

Overview
While attending a computer tech club at Ohio State University, Roderick Brown and Gabriel Mendez befriended each other and began spending time working on various projects such as OS prototypes and computer towers. Eventually, their interest in video games started to leak into their projects, and the two decided to experiment with simple games and related content. Incidentally, the two were assigned to create a video game using actual coding instead of pre-coded resources or templates. The project, which ended up being the prototype for the group's debut game Satellite Seven, was received positively and earned a very high score. Upon discovering this news, Brown and Mendez were elated and began pondering the idea of taking their development of games to the next level.
