Ryan Vandendyck – Founder/CEO
Profile
In addition to having the awesome title of CEO (which means little when a company is so small!), Ryan handles the programming and the design of games for Eden Industries. And managing the team. And making this website. And really almost everything not covered by the people below, which is common for the head of a small company! Described as having a manic style of game development, Ryan’s passion is in rapidly making experimental game prototypes. Hopefully they turn out successfully so that more can be made in the future!

Robin brings the prototypes of Eden Industries to life by expanding them from single-level experiences to rich, full-length masterpieces!
