How a Valve veteran and a former Riot designer want to ‘change the culture’ of making games

Stray Bombay are going to make co-op games. Dr. Kimberly Voll, (PhD in computer science and AI, first class honours degree in Cognitive Science, experienced game designer, VR researcher, expert in player dynamics, and former professor of computer science) and Chet Faliszek (man who worked at Valve and has made some games you’ve probably heard of) have co-founded this new game studio. It’s called Stray Bombay after Chet’s cat Boris, a rescue Bombay cat he adopted. They already have a framework for the first game they’re going to make, but while they’re talking to developers about it, they’re not ready to tell the public what it is yet.
