Description

ThatWhichIs Media is an Orlando-based independent game development studio owned and operated by sole proprietor Corey Cochran.

History

Early History

Founded in late 2012, ThatWhichIs Media's first game (an Android game titled 'Zombaldo') released April 2013. Also in April 2013 Corey suffered a personal loss, leading to the six hour development of his first Ludum Dare compo entry 'one life,' a game about the contemplation of suicide in which patience and consideration were mechanics. 'one life' won 52nd place in "Humor" out of more than 1,000 competition entries.

After That

Since then, ThatWhichIs Media has independently and collaboratively designed, developed, and published games for consoles, desktop, mobile, and web. In late 2014 ThatWhichIs Media developed a Unity integrated USBmicro U421 controller for a 'Scent Palette' device to assist in a UCF graduate psychology study using virtual simulations (update: this solution has since been used in additional studies at other universities). In 2017 ThatWhichIs Media helped with the technical design and installation of Mark Gerstein's interactive exhibit 'Broken Branches' at the Orlando Museum of Art.

Recent

ThatWhichIs Media is credited as 'Additional Programming' in 3x 2019 Independent Games Festival Finalist (including the Seumas McNally Grand Prize) 'Hypnospace Outlaw,' and designed an in-game application to demonstrate the capabilities of a proprietary internal scripting language. Corey's most recent Ludum Dare entry, 'Spacebook' (a contemplation on social media), won 11th place in "Humor."
