MEET THE THOMPSONs
Changing Vegas: A Collaborative Entertainment and Gaming Studio
Our Company. Our Goals. Our Philosophy.
We're a mother and son duo creating new and innovative gaming experiences.
We're proud to be an independent community-based business. Our goal is to create new games people love and to bring video games to the gaming floor. We value people over profits. We partner with and support local businesses and entrepreneurs for mutual benefit. We call these Collabs.
After two years of development and playtesting in Las Vegas, we’re excited to move our studio to Morgantown, West Virginia and launch our first indie game, Medieval Poker. Over the next year, they’ll be plenty of opportunities to get involved and show off your talents as we grow.
We invite you to be one of the first people to try out the game.
Watch for our new Social Gaming Club in 2025!
