Story

an indie solo journey

green_logo.png

Cranky Alien was started by the indie solo developer Giuseppe Licata in 2021 with the goal of developing and launching Swoon!

Giuseppe worked on Swoon for almost 18 months non-stop as a solo developer. Swoon was eventually published and funded by SoftSource Pte Ltd in associaton with CRX entertainment and more games are now in the making.

This allowed Giuseppe to work with his own team on more projects, open a lab where games can be developed and tested and start a wild adventure in the game development industry.
