Cascade Game Foundry, LLC, Est. 2009, is an independent game developer dedicated to simulation entertainment, founded by Creative Director Rick Selby and Managing Director Kathie Flood. The team is composed of former employees from the Microsoft ACES Studio team, which developed popular mainstream and simulation titles including the Microsoft Flight Simulator and Combat Flight Simulator series, Microsoft Train Simulator 2 and the Halo series. During the layoffs of employees at Microsoft in 2009, the ACES Studio team was removed and all projects were cancelled. The layoff encouraged the ACES Studio team to continue their projects under the Cascade Game Foundry name. In a press release, the team expresses their immediate interest in consumer-based simulators: :“Our previous efforts focused on building traditional simulation titles. However, now we get to redefine what a simulation game can be."
