Art & Craft is one of the great Tech Ranch success stories and we are excited that they have grown from 2 to 27 employees over the course of their time with us.

Their next big milestone? A blockbuster Kickstarter campaign for their MMO – Throne War Simulator game, Crowfall. The campaign raised $1,766,204 from 16,936 backers, making them the 15th biggest video game and 47th largest Kickstarter project overall.
