About Us
Notoriously addictive games.
Here at Rogue Pirate Ninja Interactive we create a notoriously addictive gaming experience using the latest and greatest ideas and technology with a methodology derived from the Rogue, the Pirate, and the Ninja. We want our customers to have a really funny and interesting gaming experience because that's the kind of entertainers we aspire to be.
So why addictive you ask? Well, we thought of that ahead of time and came up with some ideas:
- 'Cause it wouldn't be addictive if it weren't so fun.
- 'Cause if you stop playing, we'll find you...
- 'Cause asking for money is easier with flashy graphics.
- 'Cause we love kittens. And pie. But mostly kittens.
- 'Cause ya'll laughed at me, ya'll laughed at me!
- 'Cause with a name like that, it can't not be good!
- 'Cause we all got high dexterity. Now roll that dice!
- 'Cause it's the craziest name that actually works.
 | Our Business Model |
Our notoriously addictive gaming experience is created by exploiting the heredity of our namesake: the Rogue, the Pirate, and the Ninja. Together they form the core that our games are based on, as described:
|
|
|
|
The Rogue
|
|
|
|
Notoriety: Silent thief.
Addiction: The hunt along the alleys.
Brandishing: A blade concealed in a walking stick.
Tactics: The Rogue uses stealth as a means to observe a larger picture. They can hold their ground if need be, but prefer to stay in the shadows. When threatened, Rogues always attempt to attack by ambush, preferring ranged tactics and melee if needed.
Stylings: Rogue game stylings are based solely in their unique game mechanics. This cornerstone of Indie is all about having the balls to try new things, with the room to handle a backfire if need be.
Mechanic: The Rogue describes our commitment to Indie and our commitment to exploring untested gaming mechanics. Although risky, the aspect at work with the Rogue is to not be afraid of the untraveled - or just steal what works, either way.

The Pirate
|
|
|
|
Notoriety: Armed robber.
Addiction: Boisterousness and self-image.
Brandishing: A razor sharp cutlass and flintlock pistol.
Tactics: The Pirate is a personality that sees beyond all pleasantries. They are brash and quick to the draw. They always fight first, and ask questions later. Entering with a bang, but always with a safe escape route, they prefer stylish entrances and quick exits.
Stylings: Pirate game stylings are based on their crazy and brash appearance yet smooth gameplay. They are polished to the brink, as humor and presentation become the cornerstones of this Indie trait.
Mechanic: The Pirate describes our commitment to walking the line on our game ideas while ensuring a quality experience. Going too far of course would spell doom, so our battles must be picked carefully. Our commitment to notoriety can only be had by making a few enemies, though.

The Ninja
|
|
|
|
Notoriety: Swift assassin.
Addiction: Absolute perfection of craft.
Brandishing: Several hidden poisoned throwing stars.
Tactics: The Ninja is a fast and deadly attacker. A ninja is a master at martial arts, and is trained to rapidly dispose of enemies. Surprise tactics are heavily relied upon to gain the upper hand. They also have an uncanny sense of situational awareness.
Stylings: Ninja game stylings are based around their dedication to a genre. They are rather serious games that are attentive to detail while also maintaining simplicity.
Mechanic: The Ninja describes our commitment to quality engineering and professional development practices. Although our end product may speak otherwise, they are always methodically designed and produced, and receive a fine tooth comb to maintain an efficient structure.

Together, the Rogue, the Pirate, and the Ninja can combine their powers and form to create the legendary Rogue Pirate Ninja, a mystical creature that is still not yet understood. Legend has it that it is even more powerful than Chuck Norris, and we base that on absolutely nothing but what we read on the internet. Talking about it here would draw too much attention, so we tend to play the safe side.
| Latest Publicity |
 | SD Innovation Expo, Oct. 14, 2009. Jonathan and Danial attended and brought iRis AG along to showcase in our native state. Had a good bit of fun, especially as you saw the younger passer-bys have their interests perked up. Handed out a lot of little cards and message-in-the-bottle promo material, and had quite a number of various people play iRis AG. Overall people were very impressed by our work and there were even a few who said "this is addictive, I can't put it down!". =) For more pictures of this event, including pictures of other exhibitors, please add us to your MySpace®. |

Musicians
Hearing is a beautiful sense, and the musicians serve to fill one's world with the notes necessary to immerse one into a state of mind, and into the game.

Tones and notes and vibrations are the domain of this prophet. Bradley uses his unique mind sense of waveforms and hand movements to find new ways to beat walls down, using sounds of which have never before been heard before. The speakers move not because of electricity, but because Brad so chooses them to.

With his +3 Notebook of Doom at his side wherever he goes, David is the kind of evil genius that can come up with the next great idea while looking at sea weed. With a good sword, he can slash them around and make them into viable game mechanics. Of course, he's been doing this since he was a pirate baby.

Paul Clark

Paul brings a unique style to our group as he jumps over water during the night, slowly sneaking up upon his target: the game mechanic. As he slowly creeps closer, he can methodically disassemble the situation and picture all the various offsprings that could occur at any given time. With a slow and steady grip, he hacks ideas into pieces, and lightly smiles as he flees into the night.
