ConixGames was founded as a joint venture between Mat Groves (Conedog) and John Denton (Voynix). Smash their two names together with the subtlety of two mighty icebergs colliding and you are left with ConixGames!
ConixGames was basically an experiment in finding out what the game development process is like when there's absolutely no client whatsoever. Hopefully people like the things we make as well, otherwise we'll have to accept that the clients were right all along, and nobody wants to accept that filthy LIE.
