Grip Fast Gameworks, LLC is an independent solo game development studio based in the central San Joaquin Valley of California. We've worn many hats over the years from information technology system administration through web development, combined with an academic career teaching traditional drawing, painting and art history at the university level. We first began our dev journey back in 2017 when asked to create a VR lighting simulator as a sales exhibition demo utilizing Steam's OpenVR SDK, created via Unity for the HTC Vive. We love games!
