We are Lambdog Studios LLC, an indie studio from Southwest Ohio bringing you modern classics like you've never seen before. Colossal Kickoff is our debut title, born from an idea and a group of friends at Miami University. We're dedicated, multi-disciplined, and more than a little goofy. Our one and only goal is to create great games for everyone to enjoy.

Cory O’Brien is the president of Lambdog studios. On the development side of things, he is the primary audio designer, a gameplay programmer, and assisted with monster design. He has “definitely never made a single programming mistake.” Cory is from Cincinnati, Ohio and when not working can usually be found gigging with his band (he is cursed to be a bass player).

Jack Vineyard is a game developer for Lambdog Studios and is the Lead Designer for Colossal Kickoff. The game idea came to him in a dream and, from then, he knew it was his duty to create it. Additionally, he's worked on some core aspects of the game internally, such as programing the input system, developing monsters, and much more. Jack is from Cincinnati, Ohio and can often be found playing games in his free time, while still hopefully awaiting Silksong.
