The Company

Big Block Games is an indie development studio, founded in 2009 by programmer Michael Reitzenstein and artist Paul Greasley. Specialising in browser-based flash games, the company initially centered around its flagship title- the epic space opera Black Market- and has since begun branching out into the production of additional games to stand alongside its prime product.

The Staff

Big Block Games is a small studio- although our staff are sufficiently spread across the world that we can more-or-less accurately refer ourselves an international operation if we want to impress people at parties. We are:

Michael Reitzenstein: The lead programmer.

Paul Greasley: The lead artist.

Jesse Gunn: The musician.

Ben Essex: The writer.

Mike Clephane: Also an artist.

Andrew Pahuru: Our newest member; also a programmer!

Other Stuff

Big Block Games is still very young. Our main game- Black Market- is in the process of emerging from the late Beta stage of its development, and there's a fair amount of work ahead for it. While the first campaign is now essentially complete, there are still several additional features to be implemented, not to mention a large number of future campaigns on the drawing board- our ambition is to gradually create a vast, dynamic universe to play in. In the meantime, we'll also be producing plenty of non-BM related titles to keep our lineup feeling fresh and varied.

While our games will all feature significant quantities of free content- because hey, it's a global recession- we also intend to charge small amounts for premium content on our most popular products. Right now, the first Black Market campaign is available to purchase for $6.99, and until the Beta is complete we're giving away lifetime premium membership and permanent access to all future BM related items in return for your financial support.

We also highly value your ora... your vocal support. If you like our games, tell your friends, tell your families, tell that creepy guy at the local supermarket- but most importantly, tell us! Your feedback helps us make our games better.
