In a PlayStation blog post, the CEO of DotEmu, Cyrille Imbert, talks about how he and his team have have always loved the game and dreamed of bringing it to a mass audience. The company is well known for their success in porting classic games to current gen consoles and Windjammers was a passion project turned dream come true.
