Stoic

Stoic was founded by Arnie Jorgensen, John Watson, and Alex Thomas in early 2012. They left BioWare in 2012 after finishing the production of Star Wars: The Old Republic and wanted to make their “dream game,” which would then become The Banner Saga. Using crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, Stoic successfully funded the team within 2 days though the team initially wanted to fund the game using their own personal savings. The funds raised far exceeded their expectations, thus the team expanded the game’s scope to include more features.
