Development history
Under the developer name of Sketchy Logic, Jeremy began designing, writing, and programming the game that would become Aviary Attorney, while Mandy provided art and animation assistance. Lyndon Holland was also brought on-board to arrange and orchestrate the classical soundtrack, and David Cheung later provided essential testing work. After a successful Kickstarter campaign and a (very intense) year of development, the game was finally released on Steam to a very positive reception.
In 2019, Leonor Parra and Kevin Colegate of Vertical Reach offered to do what was thought impossible and bring Aviary Attorney to the Nintendo Switch. Not content with simply porting the game as-is, they set to work editing and redrawing old assets, updating the entire game to suit the console format. The final result is Aviary Attorney: Definitive Edition, which is ready for release on the 30th of January, 2020.
Jeremy Noghani is currently developing Small Saga, a game about a very angry mouse.
Vertical Reach are creating all kinds of interesting games.
