History

Long road

Erick Quijivix started making games at the age of 16 doing small clones of Pokemon games on javascript, and megaman clones with visual basic. After studying computer science and working on web development, Erick switched careers to music, studying jazz performance. After studying and moving to Uruguay, he came back to make games on 2016, creating several small jam games while honing his skills in pixel art and game design.

From Jam games to Award winning game

After several years of making small games, after entering a game jam (as usual) Erick found a game that sparked his current game on development, The Black Pepper Crew. 2 years later, the game won the Uruguayan Debut game award on 2021.
