Hurricane Studio was founded in 2021 by Diego Blank, Theo Blank, and Lena Kraus. The team’s journey began with two foundational mobile titles, Pet Your Animal and Snowball Rush. Designed as exploratory projects to hone their game development and design skills, these early releases were significant milestones that sparked the studio's dedication to creating high-quality, memorable gaming experiences.

​

Driven by a desire to scale their ambitions, the founders sought out investment and connected with a partner interested in adapting a sustainability-focused board game into a digital format. Through collaborative planning, the vision for this project rapidly expanded. What began as a simple digital remake evolved into a highly ambitious multiplayer strategy game where the ultimate goal is to build, manage, and maintain a self-sustaining town. After months of intensive planning, grant applications, and rigorous design, the project’s comprehensive Game Design Document was finalized, and development officially began.

Simultaneously, Hurricane Studio completed and launched Chomper Mobile. Serving as a loving tribute to classic arcade games with a modern twist, it became the studio’s first title to gain real traction, proving their ability to deliver polished, engaging commercial games while working on larger, mission-driven projects.
