History
David Rosen started Wolfire Games in 2003 to organize his open source video game contest entries. After graduating from Swarthmore College in 2008, he was joined by his twin brother, Jeff, and two friends and Wolfire Games officially dove into the independent game industry.
Awards
The company has won various awards for its games including 5th best Indie Game according to ModDB.
Company name
About 20 years ago David and Jeff met an owner-less dog at their cabin in Sierra City. They decided to adopt him and named him 'Wolfenstein' or 'Wolfie' for short.
Later this was the inspiration for the company name 'Wolfire':
"When David was thinking of a name for his video game company, Wolfie sprang to mind. If you add an ‘r’ you get Wolfire. Wolves are cool, and so is fire, so why not Wolfire?" – Jeff Rosen
