Tian Mu, Co-founder/CEO Tian started in the games industry at age 15, working side by side with one of his current partners in crime, Joshua Glazer. He worked on numerous games in the following years, including the award-winning title, Monty Python: The Complete Waste of Time, by 7th Level. Prior to founding Naked Sky, Tian consulted for various software start-ups on business development, marketing, web development, and project design. Driven by his calling, Tian co-founded the company with his two partners to make their dream a reality. He was educated in the U.S., China, and Japan, and has lived and worked in Asia, North America, and Europe. Tian holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and East Asian Studies from Wesleyan University. He is an avid gamer, traveler, dancer, music-lover, and connoisseur of fine cuisine.
Joshua Glazer, Co-founder/CTO Joshua spearheads the programming team at Naked Sky, specializing in physical simulations, asset streaming, asynchronous multithreading, graphics pipelines, UI toolset programming, and object serialization and reflection systems. Before co-founding the company, he put himself through USC graduate film school by writing backend server code for a variety of software start-ups. Joshua programmed his first shareware game at age 12 and later went on to receive both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the same time in four years. He is quite the comedian and once ran an improv comedy troupe at the Second City theater in Los Angeles, and hopes to have time to do it again some day once Naked Sky has used its innovative games to bring peace and happiness to everyone in the world.
