Micahl "NrdShmN" Dickens is the founder, lead devloper, story writer, animator, and general force behind Evolver and Weapons Grade Studios. Learning computer science at a young age due to interest and a desire to create video games, he began using GameMaker 8.1 to develop hobby projects including a GunStar Heroes clone among others.
In the summer of 2016, he set out to tinker with some of the foundational elements of hit fighting games like Injustice, Mortal Kombat, BlazBlue, and Brawlhalla. Already working on the details of an anime story, that fighting game project and the story for Evolver emerged as the combination effort of fighting games and anime the project has become today.
