About PushButton Labs

After years of successfully creating companies like Dynamix and GarageGames as well as creating a huge number of products such as The Incredible Machine, Trophy Bass, Starsiege: Tribes, and the Torque Game Engine, we have figured out in great detail just what we want to do. PushButton Labs is a company by us and for us. Our mission is simply:

Make great products with people that we want to work with, and have fun doing it!

It so happens that the kinds of products that we want to work on are web and game technologies, making communities, and, most of all, making great games. We are a lab because we have varied interests that cross a lot of boundaries, but all come together to form a virtuous circle. Open Source, Flash, and WordPress are of great interest to us. While we are still in stealth mode, some of the products we are working on include OnePress Community, PushButton Engine, and Grunts Skirmish.

PushButton Labs: PushButton Labs, the company behind GreatGamesExperiment.com, is located in Eugene, Oregon and on the web at pushbuttonlabs.com.
