History

2000-2014: Early roots in game develompent

Fordesoft didn't officially become a company until 2015, but by then, Josh had already spent about fourteen years developing indie games in other capacities. Josh released over a dozen freeware games during middle and high school, from 2000 to 2007. In 2008, a few months after graduating from high school, Josh released "Seeds of Time Online", a browser-based, multiplayer, monster-catching RPG that grew to over 22,000 members in the short year that it was online and active, but development eventually ceased in order to focus on college. While in college, Josh also spent time working as a freelance game developer, building web games and mobile games for clients.
