Sunstorm Interactive

**Sunstorm Interactive** is an Indianapolis-based video game developer founded in 1995 by Anthony Campiti, which specialized in hunting simulators and first-person shooters. The majority of their titles were small-scale "value titles", priced between $20 and $30 as compared to the typical computer game that was priced at $50 at the time.

## Overview

The company enjoyed their original moderate success by developing add-ons for build engine first-person shooters such as *Duke Nukem 3D*, *Blood*, and *Redneck Rampage*. At this point, the company had approximately 6 full-time employees. Sunstorm finally made an industry name for itself when it developed the first hunting simulation game *Deer Hunter* in 1997. *Deer Hunter* opened up an entirely new genre and spawned many sequels as well as copycats.

The company relocated to a new office and increased the staff size significantly. They followed up with many more hunting simulators and attempted to branch back into developing action games such as the side scroller *Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project*. However, they were not able to achieve the same level of success again and finally shut down in early 2003, citing financial and staffing difficulties as the primary reasons. Michael Root went on to found Gabriel Entertainment. Recently reborn, Sunstorm now focuses on developing games and applications for the iOS platforms, as well as providing general technical consulting.
