Flinging Monkey Gods
Tuesday, May 12, 2009 at 8:23AM This is the beginning.
The launch of monkeygods.com, the new blog, the forums, and most importantly our first two games.
Monkey Gods is a new company from an old team. Andy Gavin and I have been working together for 25 years. We started making games in 1985 with a game for the Apple ][, and our company, Naughty Dog, went on to create the Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter series. Jason Kay joined us to start Flektor, a media mashup tool that was bought and merged into MySpace in 2008.
So we have game experience, web experience, social networking experience, and a love of all of them. Monkey Gods was started so we could work on our passions. We think you will see that in the games. We are starting with two:
More are coming soon.
Let us know what you think!

i like all these words!
Sup guys,
I don't know if you guys remember me, but we met at CES in 1994 I believe. I was the Asian kid who kept hanging around your booth playing Way of the Warrior with you guys for like two days. Looking back, sorry about that, I was probably annoying as hell (I was like 11 or 12) haha.
Anyways, I saw that you guys started this new company and wanted to wish you luck and congratulate you on all your success over the years. I work with a valuation consulting firm that does work for a lot of video game companies so I'm always keeping tabs on the industry etc.
So best of luck to ya and take care.

PS if you guys have any free time, I'd love to pick your brain about what it's really like to start a company. Just shoot me an e-mail.
