History

Before White Lotus

In early 2012, John Torkington and Koriel Kruer were introduced to game development in a college classroom. They didn't know it, but a simple level design assignment would become the bedrock and concept for XING: The Land Beyond. They were asked by their professor to submit the project to the IEEE GameSig competition at Chapman University. With the deadline only a few weeks away, they set out to expand a single map layout into a full-fledged game. Many hours and frozen waffles later, they created the land of XING - four levels of atmospheric island goodness, and made it as one of the top ten finalists for the competition. They gave their presentation in front of a panel of industry professionals took second place in the competition. Knowing they could do better, Koriel and John decided to continue production into the summer and accelerate development.

First Project: XING: The Land Beyond

James Steininger joined in the Fall of 2012, rounding out the team with his passion for games and general work ethic. Working long hours every week, White Lotus Interactive has been made huge strides towards the release of their first title XING: The Land Beyond, a first-person puzzle adventure game for the PC.
