Description

Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Bowlcut Studios is a digital entertainment company founded by two brothers — Brett and Chad Pennings — whose love of games stems from the hours they played them together on the couch with their friends. Their mission: to bring back the nostalgia that came from their “brothers with bowl cuts” era of couch co-op multiplayer. Driven by the dedication to this vision, long-time programmer, Bowlcut Studios founder and MageQuit developer, Brett Pennings, refinanced and rented out his condo in order to self-fund full-time development of the title. Although MageQuit is the first game developed by Bowlcut Studios, the brothers plan to make more games that fit the genre they are dedicated to reviving.

History

Early History

Brett has always loved designing games. Growing up, he would make the rules to whatever games he and his brothers played, from nerf wars to lego rpgs. Fast forward; he still love games. Games are nostalgic. They take him back to a time of brothers with bowl cuts.

Today

Bowlcut Studios has launched their first title, MageQuit: a wizard-brawler for up to 10 players on Xbox one and Steam.
