Introversion Software is a UK based company that labels itself 'The last of the bedroom programmers'. It was founded by three friends, Chris Delay, Mark Morris and Thomas Arundel. The coding for their first game Uplink was done almost exclusively by Chris, while Mark and Tom handled marketing, materials and the other 'business' elements. Their small initial investment enabled them to buy CD-Rs, and printer cartridges, and early copies of the game were published in this way. They were able to fully make back their investment within a few hours of accepting orders, flying in the face of multinational developers and publishers which spend millions.
A large and loyal community formed, and the team, along with a new programmer Andy Bainbridge started work on two new games, Darwinia and Defcon.
Darwinia was released to much critical acclaim and was eventually re-released over Steam on December 14, 2005.
Introversion has a relatively small but growing following and its games are both considered cult classics. Both Uplink and Darwinia have an extremely strong modding community. Gameography
