Inspiration for the Game

Ronald Melencio never had dogs growing up.  It wasn’t until countless discussions with his partner, that they decided to get a dog.  However, they didn’t just get one; they adopted two 9-year-old terrier mixes from the local animal shelter in 2017.  Eventually, Ronald started to notice and think about the parallels in the Area Control mechanic whenever he walked his two dogs.  The way they would always mark in certain ‘locations of interest’ and smell around for other scents.  After countless walks, Ronald found these as a catalyst to create this game.
