Wavesoft’s mission statement: “We make games that remember and innovate.”
To remember is to make games that provide experiences we forgot and to take an experienced look at game design to determine what worked and what didn’t. To innovate reflects the new experiences that are essential to crafting new games.

 

Bonus: with regards to patents and keeping Wavesoft different from its competitors.
*Game companies tend to be naturally different as long as you try a little bit.
*Copyright game, trademark logo, and patent game mechanics if we come up with cool stuff.
