Brian "Burgee," who only goes by his first name, has a 9-5 job in healthcare and a young family, so he doesn't get much time to game. As a result, he has to do everything in games by himself—including develop them.
When he realized that he hadn't scraped the time together to scratch his lingering MMORPG itch since playing the original EverQuest, he decided to look for a game that would simulate the MMO experience without needing him to rely on other players—or vice versa. When he couldn't find one, he made himself into a game company (Burgee Media) and started building his own pseudo-MMO in 2021.
