History

Creating Ages of Cataria was a childhood dream for creative director Alex McCord. McCord always loved playing city-builders on his PC and was passionate about building a game that was accessible and intimate. He has always loved ant farms and wished there was a colony sim that would allow players to learn about the individual lives of the “ants”, so to speak. As he aged, McCord developed a passion for storytelling through creative writing, and so his vision expanded to include text-based adventures that would allow players to have unique stories within the world of the game

During the Covid-19 pandemics of 2020, McCord and his partner, Nicole Gabriel, were searching for rolls in video game development to fulfill their passion for the arts and teamwork, but having literally no experience in the industry, and being in the middle of a massive job scarcity, they were unable to find a team interested in bringing them on. So, the two decided to create their own team, and thusly, Third Pie Studios was born, and development on Ages of Cataria began.
