Jacob Siler the company's CEO says "I was diagnosed with MS when I was 16, since then I have come to realize that this life is too precious to spend it doing something you don't love. Game development is something that I love to do, and I believe that families should be drawn together by media. That is why we set out to build Sky Bridge: Fallen Stars. "

They plan to stay local, seeking to make family friendly games independently of large publishers by using Kickstarter.com, a site where entrepreneurs can pitch ideas straight to the people interested in their products.
JAZ Games launched their first game project on Kickstarter May 5, 2014. The project is called Sky Bridge: Fallen Stars and is a 3D single-player role playing game (RPG) set for release on PC, MAC, and Linux sometime in 2015. The Steampunk RPG has an open world design, is suitable for all ages and for family game play and will be developed in Unreal® Engine 4.
