The History of Fuzzy Robot

Fuzzy Robot is the studio name I do my games under these days. I've changed studio names a lot over the last 7 years, but I think it's time to settle down. I started out in 2003 with the name Enoki House. Enoki is a kind of mushroom, and the logo was a house made out of mushrooms. Under that name, I developed the game Tiki Slide which was a mix of Super Monkey Ball and snowboarding.



After that I got a few friends together and we worked on a few projects under the name Enoki Games, since Enoki House was really weird and the new name said what we do. None of those projects made it very far. After that I started working on Havoc Ball (a 3d breakout game), but I wanted to use a new name to distance myself from the the failed attempts at Tiki Slide 2 and Battle for Claymore. For that game I used the studio name:



I really liked that name, but soon after, a certain "Harmonix" started making Guitar Hero games, and I thought it was too close and I wanted to be more unique. I first started Stabbing in the dark at this Fuzzy Robot idea about a year ago. Here is my first go at it:



I guess the idea of Fuzzy Robot is that he is a fun happy robot, a blend between the creativity and spontaneity of humans and the Sci-fi techy awesomeness of robots. After much revision, I ended up with the logo design we have today!



I think this is one I can keep for the forseeable future.
