Monkey Squad, S.A. de C.V., doing business as Squad, is an interactive entertainment company based in Mexico City, Mexico, best known for their debut game Kerbal Space Program.
The main business of Squad is to provide digital and interactive services to customers like Coca-Cola, Hewlett-Packard, Sony, Samsung and Nissan, including creating websites, guerrilla marketing, multi-media installations, and corporate-image design. They have developed software for different applications, some of which were video games.
In October 2010, Felipe Falanghe (a.k.a. "HarvesteR") approached Squad owners Adrian Goya and Ezequiel Ayarza. He intended to resign to work on a video game he had been planning. However, Squad said he could create the game as a company project after finishing his current assignment. That was the start of Kerbal Space Program, an indie space flight simulation game with first public release on June 24, 2011, with the game in version 0.7.3. The game was officially released out of beta on April 27, 2015, and is continually updated. Felipe Falanghe announced that he would no longer be the lead developer of Kerbal Space Program on May 30, 2016; this was so he could pursue a currently unspecified project.
Squad has stated their intentions to branch out into other areas, such as record-producing, and away from pure marketing.
