About Us
Greenstone Games was founded by Julian Stewart and Jarn La
Rooij, both Kiwis, in 2011 to self-publish a card game they had designed,
called Seven.
They began designing Seven in August 2009 and worked on the
art, graphic design, and game play for over a year with help
from dozens of friends who were willing to help with play
testing. They then tested the game on complete strangers, who
were all asked to play the game, and then fill out an anonymous
survey online to give brutally honest feedback.
In December 2011, Seven received the 'Major Fun Award', an
award given by a group of game testers based in Indiana, USA,
to games that are found to be 'major fun'.
Both Julian and Jarn are from Christchurch, in the South Island
of New Zealand. They are good mates and went to school together
back in the old days.
In 2012 Greenstone Games published the iPad app PROVERBidioms, a puzzle game
that is based on the ingenius paintings by American artist
Thomas Breitenbach. These paintings took years to
make, with the first one completed in 1975.
A version for iPhone was finally published in 2013.
Julian grew up with one of Breitenbach’s paintings hanging near
the kitchen table, and whenever friends were visiting they
would always gather around and stare at the unusal and
captivating pictures inside the painting.
In May 2017, Julian took over PROVERBidioms and is remaking the game for both iOS and Android platforms on his own. Look out for it soon as it uses some very unique concepts.
