Mad Herons is a small Los Angeles studio making the comedy game Send In The Clown, and the team says the city is worth the cost.
Why LA: The founders met doing improv there, and JM says no other American city brings together so many writers, musicians and game designers.
The money: Making the numbers add up is "a challenge for sure", but a small team means the high cost of living doesn't multiply across hundreds of people.
Remote help: Co-founder Karen Park is based in Scotland, and contractors have come from Washington, Illinois and the UK.
Career switch: JM left TV writing during the 2023 Writers Guild Strike and taught themself programming.
