Ampersand Studios

Ampersand Studios is a small video game developer based in Costa Mesa, California. The company was founded by Austin Gray, Lee Channing, and Mikayla Quinn.

Although the company has made Call of Duty video games, they do not stick with making Call of Duty games. However, they do specialize in games involving warfare.

History
The beginnings of the company started when three friends, Austin Gray, Lee Channing, and Mikayla Quinn, got together to make a video game in their free time. With the help of other friends and acquaintances, they created their first game, a retro-style 2D version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, nicknamed Call of Duty 4: The 2D Adventure.

After realizing their passion for video game design and their desire to make good games in the not so well-off gaming industry, the three friends decided to make the official company. Many of the people they worked with to create their first game were included and hired for the company, while the rest of the employees they found elsewhere.

Since they completed their first game, they started a new game shortly after, entitled Call of Duty: Vehicle Warfare. The company's main founder, Austin Gray, stated it would take some time to complete because of how much detail and time they wanted to put into it and because there weren't enough people to finish the game in such a short time.
