Founded by Markus Heinsohn
Markus created Out of the Park Baseball, the strategy game played by millions worldwide and the only game franchise ever to win a Metacritic Game of the Year award twice.
The game simulates an entire baseball universe down to every pitch, and millions of people got hooked on the intuitive design and entertaining gameplay. Making that kind of complexity feel easy is what Endgegner Studios now does for apps, AI products and games.
“OOTP is an astonishing accomplishment.”
“It’s just an awesome simulator.”
“Out of the Park Baseball was as helpful of a tool for not just me, but for our staff, as I’ve ever come across.”
