Roll7

Rollingmedia Limited, doing business as Roll7, is a British video game developer based in London, England. The company was founded by Simon Bennett, Tom Hegarty, and John Ribbins in 2008, as a sister project to Rollingsound.[1] Initially, they were developing Dead Ends, a role-playing video game as tie-in with Channel 4's anti-knife crime campaign, but it was cancelled later on. From 2009 to 2011, they developed five games for NeuroSky's brain wave measurement headset, MindWave, including the ADHD treatment game Focus Pocus. In 2012, Roll7 released mobile game Gets to the Exit. The studio gained acclaim with its 2014 skateboarding-focused sports game OlliOlli, which received multiple awards and nominations in different categories, and won the BAFTA Award for video games in the category "Sport", at the 11th British Academy Games Awards. The game was succeeded by OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood in 2015, and the same year, Not a Hero was also released.

gollark: It's probably possible to handle the xterm-or-whatever-it-actually-is escape sequences in CC well enough to render okay.
gollark: That's useful, thanks. There are probably ways to convert the VT100 sequences into other useful stuff.
gollark: <@205756960249741312> Does CraftOS-PC have anything like the CCEmuX feature where it can render to TRoR (the terminal redirection over rednet protocol)? Me and Rph had an idea which would need some way to run emulated CC computers headlessly and stream their output/input to/from elsewhere somehow.
gollark: A friend of mine was suspended for "hacking the CCTV system" or something. Apparently the control thing for them was accessible on the network and had the default password set.
gollark: At my school I discovered that they had keyloggers in place and detected some words you typed. By typing some stereotypical terroristy keywords into an empty document (not saving it, obviously). I explained that I had done it randomly and not really expected anything to happen and they just complained about how I had apparently wasted 45 minutes of people's time as they dealt with this grave issue.
