About Us

My Game Company is a small independent game development studio, founded in 2003 by one man and his wife. My mission is simple: I want to help parents find good computer games for themselves and their children.

When I look at computer games on store shelves, I don't see a lot of decent games for children. Oh, there's usually a section of games designed for very small children (5 and under), but most of the others are violent, promote criminal behavior, or contain material that I find offensive (like foul language, crass humor, or suggestive themes). I don't see much for boys and girls between the ages of 6-14, and frankly I don't see many games that I would care to play myself. And I discovered that many parents feel the same way I do.

So my Christian beliefs motivated me to do something about it. I left behind a 15-year career as a professional software engineer, where I earned a nice salary and only worked 40 hours per week, and started my own company. I now use all of my experience and skills to write family-friendly games for both kids and adults. And I scour the Internet looking for family-friendly games produced by other companies that I can add to my growing catalog*. Some people may think I'm crazy for doing this, and I'll admit that some months we struggle. But I love writing games, and I love the frequent e-mails from grateful parents who tell me that both they and their children enjoy my games.

Please note, I am not a big company. I am literally a one-man operation, and all of my games are self-funded. But even though I don't have a million dollar budget for slick 3D graphics, you'll find my games to be just as fun as those made by larger companies. And I continue to provide updates for all my games, even years after their original release, with support for newer operating systems, bug fixes, and new features (including some features that players request). Best of all, if you ever run into a problem with one of my games, I will personally help you solve it!

The downside to being an independent company is that it is hard to get noticed. I don't have a big advertising budget, and most publishers aren't interested in games for kids ages 6-14. So if you like what I'm doing, please support me by buying my games and telling your friends about my web site!

And if you like my games, drop me a note and tell me - your encouraging letter or e-mail will make my day! You can reach me through post or e-mail:

One more thing: please don't pirate my games. I'm not a big company that can't be hurt by piracy. I'm just one guy trying to earn a living by doing what I love: writing games. If you don't buy my games, I don't eat. It's that simple.

Our Staff

Troy Hepfner

President

That's me! I'm the founder and owner of My Game Company. I started the business, I manage the daily operation of it, and I am the lead programmer and artist.  It was my hobby of making computer games that led to the founding of My Game Company. I am the designer of Dirk Dashing and Rick Rocket. When I'm not working on computer games, I'm probably playing them. I enjoy golf, tennis, and hiking.

Victoria Hepfner

Vice President

This is my wonderfully supportive wife, Victoria. She came up with the idea for our dress-up puzzle game, Fashion Cents, and she helped design it and its sequel, Fashion Cents Gents. She helps test my games, and she plays through games made by other companies to see if we can add them to our catalog. In her free time, Victoria enjoys crafts that involve rubber stamping and/or polymer clay.  And she loves teddy bears!
