About Us
Elder Chicken Games is a small family business located in the Western US. We are passionate about games and programming and are excited to share some of our creations with you. We also love to encourage others, particularly kids, to discover the joy of computer programming. We are living proof that kids can learn to code at a young age and have fun doing it. In the process, they learn valuable skills that can help them succeed in school and in life, whether or not they choose software engineering as a career.
Thomas (a.k.a. Dad) is a software developer working on designing his own role-playing game, Splintered Symmetry. He and his kids enjoy playing board games and video games together and often come up with their own mods for the games that they play. They particularly enjoy cooperative games and legacy games. Thomas started Elder Chicken Games to prepare for publishing his role-playing game and encouraged Richard to publish his own games as well.
Richard is the webmaster and the creator of the casual games you find on elderchicken.com. He's also worked for several years in web development, full-stack development, and AI. The games on this site were all created in JavaScript and Richard loves related languages like React, Node, and TypeScript. He also enjoys watching old movies, reading old books, and playing the piano and guitar.
