Action Button Entertainment
Action Button Entertainment is a video game development studio consisting of Tim Rogers, Brent Porter, Michael Kerwin, and Nicholas Wasilewski that has produced four games since 2012: ''Ziggurat'', ''TNNS'', ''10×8'', and the in-development ''Videoball''. The group convened as Rogers worked on ''Ziggurat'' based on an idea he had while playing ''Angry Birds'' that he could not complete on his own. Porter joined Action Button after responding to a call for artists Rogers made via Twitter, and Kerwin joined based on a connection he had with Rogers from producing a mockup of a game concept Rogers outlined in his ''Kotaku'' column. Action Button released ''Ziggurat'' in February 2012, ''TNNS'' in November, ''10×8'' in July 2013, and ''Videoball'' is expected for release in 2015.
== History ==
Action Button Entertainment was founded by Tim Rogers.〔 The studio consists of Tim Rogers, Brent Porter, Michael Kerwin, and Nicholas Wasilewski, who have built all of the studio's four games from ''Ziggurat'' through ''Videoball''.〔 Their games are consistently "simple" in their aesthetics and controls.〔 The team formed during the development of ''Ziggurat'', which began with an idea Rogers had while playing ''Angry Birds'' about pushing back a swarm of bats by shooting projectiles at them. He decided that he could not make the game alone. Rogers put out a call for artists on Twitter with a submissions request of "fan art of the Japanese box art of ''Phantasy Star II''", and Action Button artist Brent Porter replied in under an hour with an entry Rogers called "incredible".〔 In mid 2011, Rogers decided to work on an iPhone game for a few weeks as a break from a larger project. Rogers said the team was convinced by his design document—this game would become ''Ziggurat''. Rogers contacted an Internet acquaintance who had previously mocked up a design idea from Rogers's ''Kotaku'' column, programmer Michael Kerwin, who came through with a rough draft within a week. Andrew Toups converted a soundtrack created by Rogers's rock band into an 8-bit soundtrack. After six months of hiatus and working at a social games company, Rogers rekindled development and the team finished the ''Ziggurat'',〔 which was released in February 2012.〔
Rogers has said that he aspires for Action Button Entertainment to make games that share his preferred gaming styles and his hobbies. Realizing that the common link between his top 25 video games (including ''Panzer Dragoon'', ''Cave Story'', ''Canabalt'', and his favorite, ''Out of This World'') was minimalist aesthetics with no overt story to tell other than through game mechanics, Rogers wanted ''Ziggurat'' and future games to live up to those expectations and used his gut to fine-tune design decisions. The games also reflect aspects of Rogers's personality, such as in the "scream sound effect" on ''Ziggurat'' made and distorted from his guitar based on sounds made by eccentric Japanese musicians whose records he owned.〔 He also called ''Ziggurat'' a descendant of his hobbies: ''Ibara: Black Label'' and the Rubik's Cube.〔
