Hi James,
I'm the Chief Creative Officer of Re-roll Entertainment and we would like to join the Windows Central Developer program.
Re-roll Entertainment is an independent game development company consisting of nearly 20 people at the time of this writing, most of which are veterans from the gaming industry, covering design, programming, art, audio, animation, narrative writing, outsourcing, publishing, and anything else associated with games and their development.
Our headquarters and main offices are in Beijing, China, and we also have a development studio in Norway, with employees from all over the world previously involved in titles like "Anarchy Online", "Age of Conan", "High Noon", and "Path of Exile", just to mention a few.
Our motto is "Gameplay is Everything", and we have set out determined to make the games we'd like to play ourselves - we want to bring gaming back to the gamers, and return the focus to the games themselves instead of the corporate focus we see a lot of these days.
First and foremost, our aim is to bring triple-A gaming experiences to the mobile platform, and by that we challenge the traditional business and development model that currently holds dominion over the mobile market by creating full-sized no-nonsense games that is traditionally only launched for PC or consoles. Meaning no "energy" mechanics or other time-gating features, no advertisements, and no social plugs - just complete games, pure and simple.
Right now we are closing in on the final stages of our first release - an old-school tactical fantasy RPG called Karnage: Dawn of Upheaval - with hundreds of hours of deep and story-driven gameplay set in a vast and unique world. It has taken us 19 months to get this far, and we have another 5-6 months of development ahead of us. The game will launch "when it is done", and on all mobile platforms simultaneously(!).

We would love to join this initiative and lend our advice and expertise to you guys, and I think we would greatly benefit from your collective expertise and experiences in return!
