A group of former id Software developers has formed Hidden Horses, an employee-owned indie studio where every current staffer is a co-founder. After Microsoft's layoffs cut deep into id Software, this crew is turning hard-earned AAA experience into a bold independent future.

Their debut project, Danger Pay, is a first-person shooter with a Kickstarter coming soon. This is exactly the kind of developer-led, creative-first model the industry needs: real ownership, real stakes, and a refusal to let corporate cost-cutting erase talent. Support the Kickstarter and follow what Hidden Horses builds next.
