About The Alekon Company
Three former Riot Games and Respawn Entertainment devs teamed up to create a unique game in the photography space. In 2016, Kevin Notar started Alekon in his spare time, as a small prototype in Unreal Engine 4. Daniel Kraft joined soon after, helping to create whimsical creatures for players to photograph. The team was complete in 2019, when Max Shawabkeh stepped in to shore up the interactive side of the game.
