History
The founders of the company, Alexey and Afanasey Ushnisky, began developing games in 2005. Back then they asked their father to give them money to purchase the first computer. They used it in shifts, one wrote the code, the other did the design, and in two months they created the game Boxy Goxy. In 2006, they created their first game development company “Sulus Games”.[2]
