Something is happening in the Midwest that has never been done before: an indie gaming company is on the rise. As someone who was raised in a smaller city in South Dakota, I would never imagined being able to take part in something as ambitious and undertaking as an indie game company. Granted, there are thousands of gaming companies that are started on a daily basis, but there is a difference in seeing one in the making in front of my very eyes.
Dakota State University, located in the small town of Madison, SD, has given birth to the one and only game design program in the Midwest area. Hundreds of games have been created on this campus, and I've gotten to play test and review many of them, but to actually see a company spring up from this is extraordinary. Voidware Gaming, created by Matt Nelles and co-founded by Patrick (BizKit) Annett, is undertaking a feat worthy of praise. They are giving life to a company that will be taking in fellow students from Dakota State University, whether they have graduated with a degree or even if they are not in the game design program (obviously, as they took me as a reviewer).
Voidware Gaming is kicking down the doors that have barred South Dakota from being a game producing area and more. So many new paths are being beaten down for indie game designers and those that are simply interested in taking part of a new endeavor.
