The Girls and Ey

"The Girls and Ey" originates from the fact that the game was made by the only three girls (Heather Arbiter, Sela Davis and Kelley Piering) in the class and the masters program at the Rochester Institute of Technology and Mike Ey. Mike's last name is actually pronounced like "eye", making the name a clever pun.

Kelley is currently pursuing a masters degree in Game Design and Development at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

She has a desire to make games that anyone of any age can pick up and have fun with. Kelley enjoys playing RPGs and the quirky weird games, Chibi-Robo being one of her favorites.
