Monster Madness Online Interview with Jeremy Stieglitz: Resurrecting the undead:
Dungeon Defenders was easily one of my favorite downloadable titles in 2011. The fact that I loved tower defense games certainly helped, but being able to actually influence the battlefield as a character that had its own progression was genius.
Jeremy Stieglitz, who is not only the co-founder of Trendy Entertainment but also the creator, lead designer, & lead programmer of Dungeon Defenders has created a side company called Nom Nom Games, and through that, wanted to revitalize a project he created on consoles, Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia.
