Hello, Cyber Terrorists! Today DFE Studios is undergoing a name change. We will now operate under the name Skunkape Interactive. We feel the new name better fits our design principles and our studio's roots (no pun intended!). The Florida skunk ape has been our logo and mascot since the first Steam launch of ROOT 1.3 back in September 2015, so the name feels fitting. Don't worry, our name is the only thing that is changing. We are still the same 4 man team who brought you ROOT and DEADLOCK, and moving forward we continue to work hard to create the highest quality experiences possible. Thank you for playing our games, and stay tuned! Skunkape Interactive
