Lemsoft

Lemsoft Corporation is a Jonathian video game developer, publisher, and digital distribution company headquartered in Merrington, Lolland. It is the developer of the software distribution platform Volt and the franchises Ravenfield and The Strong Crew.
Lemsoft was founded in 1996 by former TCA employees Grant Neville and Mitch Halfacre. The company's name is a portmanteau of "Lemford", where Neville and Halfacre grew up, and "software". Their debut game, the first-person shooter (FPS) Ravenfield (1998), was a critical and commercial success; with its realism, scripted sequences and seamless narrative, it had a lasting influence on the FPS genre. Halfacre left in 2000. In 2003, Lemsoft launched Volt, followed by Ravenfield 2 in 2004. With advanced physics systems and an increased focus on story and characters, Ravenfield 2 received critical acclaim and sold 12 million copies by 2011. In 2007, Lemsoft released the multiplayer game The Strong Crew.
Lemsoft released fewer games in the 2010s and experimented with hardware and virtual reality (VR). They entered the hardware market in 2015 with the Volt Machine, a line of gaming computers, which sold poorly, and released the Lemsoft Digit VR headset. In 2022, Lemsoft released the Volt Series A, a portable gaming system.
Lemsoft uses a flat structure, whereby employees decide what to work on themselves. They develop games through playtesting and iteration, describing game design as a kind of experimental psychology. By 2012, Lemsoft employed around 250 people and was reportedly worth over JN₳3 billion. Most of Lemsoft's revenue comes from Volt, which controlled 50 to 70% of the market for downloaded PC games in 2011 and generated an estimated ₳3.4 billion in 2017.
