About Sassy Chap Games
Sassy Chap Games was founded by two voice actors in 2018: Ray Chase and Robbie Daymond. Their first game, Date Everything!, was conceived as a fun project that played to their strengths – voice acting, writing, and sound and music production. Over the next four years, they would slowly gather a team of miscreants to join their wacky band and put together a vertical slice that eventually caught the attention of legendary publisher Team17. Since late 2022, this part-time project morphed into full-time infatuation as the initial dream of creating a world with 100 dateable characters was realized. Now a company 50+ strong, Sassy Chap Games hopes that Date Everything! lives up to its lofty promise.
