Squad started out as a marketing agency, specialising in interactive technologies development. Every year, the owners of the agency asked their employees to come up with original projects, and if there was a good and viable idea, it could get developed. Felipe was an employee at Squad for some time when one day he couldn't take the stress of marketing anymore. He tried to quit, but the owners insisted he instead presented a viable video game project idea.
Not really believing his luck, Felipe set out to finish a pitch document for one of his childhood projects. Kerbals are the name of the little tin foil men that manned fireworks he took apart and turned into rockets as a child in his native Brasil. Four and a half years later, we are proud to present the outcome of this endeavor, Kerbal Space Program 1.0.
