Editing NetDevil (section)

=== Beginnings ===
NetDevil was founded in 1997 by Scott Brown, Peter Grundy and Steven Williams in Louisville, a suburb north of [[Denver, Colorado]]. Before forming NetDevil, Brown, Grundy, and Williams worked at Digital Creators, an information technology firm located in [[Boulder, Colorado]]. The three dreamed of being creators of their own digital worlds, and began developing ''[[Jumpgate: The Reconstruction Initiative|Jumpgate]]'', a space-based flight simulator MMO, during their spare evenings and weekends. After a year of part-time work, they quit their jobs and started NetDevil,  headquartered in the basement of Scott Brown's home. Their first proper office was {{convert|750|sqft|m2}}, sub-leased from friends with another technology company. In an interview with [[GameDaily]], Scott Brown shared that at one point they had fourteen people packed into one big room.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/feature/?id=16599&ncid=AOLGAM000500000000022|title=Gaming articles on Engadget|author=|date=|website=Engadget|access-date=May 8, 2017}}</ref>

According to the company's website,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.netdevil.com/company.php|title=Gazillion, Inc.|author=|date=|website=Gazillion, Inc.|access-date=May 8, 2017}}</ref> the name NetDevil was chosen because of the "owners' obsession with cool scary things that live in the deep dark waters of the world". All of the company's principals are certified SCUBA divers, including one certified dive master.
