Terrible Posture Games is an independent game company founded in 2014 by industry veteran Joe Mirabello, noticeable by their FPS games Tower of Guns and Mothergunship.[1]

History[edit]

Following the closure of 38 Studios, Joe Mirabello opened his studio in 2014 and started working on a FPS game Tower of Guns which received great reviews.[1] In 2020, Joe Mirabello moved away from the FPS games to make a new original game for free on the Epic Games store. 3 out of 10 was a new experimental project that was inspired from his odd experiences at 38 Studios and was made as the world’s first playable sitcom, making it part gameplay and part animated show. It was released later on March 2021 for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch.[2] A second season of the game was released next year around April. By May 2021, the studio signed a deal with Dj2 Entertainment to make a television series based on their successful sitcom game.[3]

In July 2022, Terrible Posture Games collaborated with Skybound Games to assist on the story for Genvid Interactive and Pipework Studios' The Walking Dead: Last Mile as a free game on Facebook Gaming.[4] By November 2023, the studio developed and published a new game only on windows with Skybound Games again but as a RPG/Visual novel titled Invincible Presents: Atom Eve with features an original story focusing around the character Atom Eve.[5]
