On August 7, 2014, the company launched a crowdfunding campaign on the Kickstarter website to fund the development of Kona, their first game. Their goal of CA$40,000 was reached on September 6, 2014, with CA$44,271 raised by 1,304 people. On July 15, 2022, the game's sequel, Kona II : Brume, was announced.
