History
Starcloud Productions was started by John Waynick as a freelance graphic design business in 2001. By 2003, it had grown into a full-fledged web design project. Over the following years, several individuals contributed to Starcloud Productions related projects, but the core of it still remained a freelance business.
In 2005, Starcloud Entertainment was born, a side project that Waynick created to market local audio production and engineering under. Several demos were released under Starcloud Entertainment as a pseudo-record label, but most contract work credited Starcloud as a production company. Later on, Starcloud Entertainment acquired video production as a service as well. It was also under Starcloud Entertainment that Waynick provided graphic (2D and 3D) and audio assets to independent game development studios.
In 2007, Starcloud Games was born, an ambitious side project revolving around game development. Waynick set himself up as a project manager and recruited a few people to fill different roles for several project ideas. It was not until 2009 that a main project was decided upon. This was the same year that Zach Hollingshead was invited to the team. It was not long before Hollingshead was named Vice President of Starcloud Games.
As of the end of 2009, Starcloud Games, Starcloud Entertainment, and Starcloud Productions were all acting as separate entities. At the beginning of 2010, the decision was made to consolidate all three into a single parent. Starcloud Industries was born. Grown from a freelance business started in high school, Starcloud Industries now aims to grow into a business that will not only give clients a pleasant experience, but also provide local talent with an exciting and innovative opportunity.
Vision
Starcloud Industries aims to grow into more than just a small business offering web development solutions. The idea is to create a growing company that employs talent from several categories and applies them not only to client services, but also to exciting and innovative ideas. From game development to device design… we’re building the future.
