Raptware: 30 Years of Passion, Pixels, and Resilience

Our story begins in 1995, in the MS-DOS era, when games were forged with ASCII code and pure imagination. What started as a teenager's personal project under the alias "Rapt" evolved within the halls of the Technological Institute of Veracruz. There, between Artificial Intelligence classes and shared dreams, Roberto (Rapt) and Manuel (Doug) founded what is now Raptware.

Our first successes, such as Chon's Boxes and Land of the Pharaohs, were born from curiosity and a drive to prove that video games could be more than just entertainment—they could be art and education. That spirit led us to win contests and sell our first physical copies at student fairs.

Life eventually took us to the big leagues. For years, our core team (joined by the artistic talent of Yokan) honed their skills at Gameloft, developing titles for millions of players during the golden age of mobile and Flash gaming. Cult hits like Aoyama Gones Wild, Double Blaster and Trap-a-tuna defined that era.

Today, Raptware has been reborn. Combining the experience of industry veterans with the tools of the future (Unity, GameMaker and AI), we have returned to our indie roots. We are remastering our classics and crafting new adventures, proving that the passion for building virtual worlds has no expiration date.
