Wolfire Games is an independent video game development company founded by David Rosen. Wolfire Games develops video games for Mac OS, Windows, and Linux.
David Rosen started Wolfire Games in 2003 to organize his open source video game contest entries. After graduating from Swarthmore College in 2008, he was joined by his twin brother, Jeff, and two friends and Wolfire Games officially dove into the independent game industry.
The company has won various awards for its games including 5th best Indie Game according to ModDB.
About 20 years ago David and Jeff met an owner-less dog at their cabin in Sierra City. They decided to adopt him and named him 'Wolfenstein' or 'Wolfie' for short.
Later this was the inspiration for the company name 'Wolfire':
"When David was thinking of a name for his video game company, Wolfie sprang to mind. If you add an ‘r’ you get Wolfire. Wolves are cool, and so is fire, so why not Wolfire?" – Jeff Rosen
