History
  • NonStop Games was founded in 2011 by Teemu Ikonen, Henrik Karlström, Juha Paananen and Henric Suuronen[2]
  • In January 2012 NonStop Games launched its first game, Dollar Isle[3]
  • In April 2012 their second game, PainStars, was launched. The game’s community marked the production of over 500,000 drawings some months after launch and the number of daily pictures painted was close to 30,000[1]
  • In August 2012, NonStop Games announced a new project under the working title "Games IV". The CEO of the company, Juha Paananen, described it as a "90° shift from their last couple games" and as a "mix of strategy, social collaboration and competition with PVP elements."[4]

gollark: Randomly exploding *nuclear-powered* SSDs.
gollark: Some of them might randomly explode, some of them might go into read-only mode, some of them might go into read-only mode early when you've hit the end of the manufacturer-given lifespan and then nuke themselves.
gollark: SSD write endurance.
