Tomorrow Corporation is an independent video game developer consisting of Kyle Gabler, Allan Blomquist and Kyle Gray and a division of the Experimental Gameplay Group. The three had previous met in graduate school and later went into separate divisions of Electronic Arts. Gabler and Blomquist became restless at EA and opted to develop independently, with Gabler forming 2D Boy and helping to create World of Goo, which Blomquist helped to port to the Wii platform, while Gray was the lead designer for Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure.[1] After these games were completed, the three met up and decided to form Tomorrow Corporation in 2010.[2] They produced their first title, Little Inferno in 2012. Their next game, Human Resource Machine, was released in October 2015.
In addition, the three are supporting the Experimental Gameplay Project, a website to encourage non-standard gameplay development. The Project originally stated by Gabler and Gray while at Carnegie Mellon University in 2005.[3] The goal of the project was encourage individual developers to create a functional game prototype within seven days based on a given abstract theme, such as "gravity" or "flowers". The Project is not seen as a competition but as a catalyst for other developers to brainstorm off the ideas presented by entries, recognizing that the development of a game's concept generally is one of the more difficult aspects of game development.[4] Developers are then free to continue to expand on the development if they chose; for example, World of Goo is based on Tower of Goo which was one of the original entries for the Project.[4]
