About Digital Dominion

Boilerplate
Founded by industry veteran Dan Beenfeldt (most recently of the Forza Motorsport series), we aim to bring retro back in a big way. We are currently comprised of 5 developers, geographically dispersed but sharing a love for the NES/SNES games we grew up on. Our first game, Super Retro Maker, will bring the tough as nails, easy to learn hard master gameplay of the 80's into the modern age of giant displays, gpu's, and physics simulation while maintaining the retro aesthetic visually and aurally.
