Armikrog is the brainchild of industry veterans Mike Dietz and Ed Schofield, the founders of Pencil Test Studios, created in 2009. The indie game studio’s office is sandwiched between a plumber and a sandwich shop in Lake Forest, California, where small manpower yields big games. Joined by Earthworm Jim creator Doug TenNapel, cult musician Terry Scott Taylor, several Laguna College of Art and Design interns, and various stop-motion artists, the team created their most comical, challenging and bizarre videogame yet.
Dietz and Schofield’s animation days started over two decades ago. In 1992, Dietz – who worked at Virgin Games at the time – hired Schofield at a college career day event. They went on to work together on Super Nintendo, Genesis and Aladdin games. “It was like the wild west of the industry back then,” jokes Dietz. A few years later, they started designing their own computer games, including 1994’s Earthworm Jim, 1996’s The Neverhood and 1998’s Skullmonkeys. Although considered critical successes, the games suffered during the PC crash of the Nineties, when consoles became more popular. The two peeled off to pursue various opportunities, including work on Pixar games Ratatouille and WALL-E, before regrouping in 2013 specifically to work on Armikrog. [Rolling Stone Magazine]
