Roller Derby and Video Games collide in Wisconsin

WFTDACodebase051708.jpgGreen Bay's Frozen Codebase like to tout themselves as a non-traditional video game developer, in fact, they call what they do "punk rock game development." So it makes sense that Frozen Codebase would be tapped to turn one of the most punk rock sports, roller derby, into an action packed video game. The Women's Flat Track Derby Association announced this weekend that they would be working with the company on a game that will bring their "'Real. Strong. Athletic. Revolutionary.' brand of modern roller derby to the world of video games.

The marriage is a perfect fit for Wisconsin. Frozen Codebase has been a sponsor of both Milwaukee's Brew City Bruisers and Madison's Mad Rollin Dolls.

Frozen Codebase was founded by Ben Geisler who previously worked at Madison's Raven Software. He said in the press release, "Frozen Codebase is a studio of game developers committed to consistently delivering innovative and original games. Modern roller derby is nothing like your grandma’s derby. It’s real, it’s punk, it’s action and attitude and it’s begging to become an exciting, action-packed video game!"

The President of the WFTDA is Mad Rollin Dolls co-founder Crackerjack who said, "we're confident this game will create a whole new segment of roller derby fanatics."

Details of the game are still in development, but roller derby and gaming fans alike are being invited to participate in a forum on Frozen Codebase's website: http://www.frozencodebase.com/proto2/
