History

Night Light Interactive was co-founded by David Logan and Michael Bellavia in 2012.[1] The studio's first game, Whispering Willows, was entered in the 2013 OUYA Create Game Jam, where it won “Most Immersive” and first received major attention.[2] The success led to the company creating a successful Kickstarter and getting the game released on Steam through Steam Greenlight.[3][4] Night Light Interactive was converted into the Limited Liability Corporation 'Night Light Interactive, LLC' on April 12, 2012.[5] then received funding from OUYA's "Free the Game Fund."[6] In 2014 Night Light brought on two official advisers, Kellee Santiago, formerly of Thatgamecompany and Terry Redfield, of Wicked Fun.[7] In 2015 Leif Dahl became a company partner through working on Whispering Willows.[8]

Their next game, ‘’Nomad’’ has been teased on their website.[9]
