The journey of creating "Arico: Tales From the Abyss" began when Alberto Sajeras and Mateo Costa embarked on the adventure of participating together in a Game Jam. Faced with the shared vision of developing a fun but realizable game for the tight deadlines, they reached out to Damian Fernández to help with his sound design to bring to life "Inner Demons", a fast-paced video game designed for quick and arcade-style gaming experiences. The game was well received, and in the process, both Mateo and Alberto realized not only how much they enjoyed collaborating but also the untapped potential within them. This realization ignited their drive to explore further ideas.

Both Alberto and Mateo had been working at Drakhar Studio, where they, alongside the team, had been developing games based on popular licenses such as "Paw Patrol" and "Hotel Transylvania," among others. However, their desire to create a game that not only entertained children but also resonated with their own gaming preferences gave them the impetus to embark on this new adventure.

At this juncture, Eduardo González, the owner of Foxter Studio, reached out to them. Eduardo was a seasoned entrepreneur with a wealth of experience in the gaming industry, particularly in education and game collectibles, spanning from vintage classics to modern releases. He had always harbored a dream of actively participating in the development of a video game. This dream, coupled with his existing friendship with Mateo and Alberto, propelled him to offer his unwavering support, from seeking financial backing to providing the essential resources needed to bring "Arico" to life.

​

With the backing secured, the trio approached Drakhar Studio, the company where Alberto and Mateo were employed. They proposed a unique collaboration: to subcontract a portion of the team with whom they were familiar to work for the development of "Arico: Tales From the Abyss", including themselves. The response was not only a resounding "yes" but also an eagerness to become investors, solidifying the partnership and ensuring that "Arico: Tales From the Abyss" would become a reality through their collective efforts.
