Akimbo Game Studios

Akimbo Game Studios is a game developer specializing in games on the Roblox platform, headquartered in New York and Las Vegas. They were founded sometime in July 2020 by exrahs and sour_s0ybean, two Roblox players who decided to create a game. The team has accumulated members over time, and as of October 21st, 2020 has 13 members in their Roblox group, approximately doubling their growth from Q3 of 2020. Akimbo is known for their breakout failure of a game, Golira Simulator, an FPS/parkour game fully released in October 2020. On October 27th, 2020, Akimbo became the parent company for their newly-acquired publishing department, steve's bread basket.

History
In July 2020, exrahs and sour_s0ybean founded Akimbo Game Studios as an alias to release Roblox games under. exrahs has said that the company's name is a namesake of a fictional character known as Akimbo O'bwebwe, who was said to be convicted of forcing sexual acts upon a gorilla. This turned out to be a hoax, and the two had a good laugh at the fake story, later opting to name their game development studio after the main protagonist of the news report. The team worked for about a week on Golira Simulator, and released it for early access on the 17th of July. They then went "bravo-six, going dark" and disappeared from Roblox as a whole for a while. They returned in October 2020, releasing the full version of Golira Simulator as a surprise, and was shut down on October 22nd. Akimbo's second project was a game called Ham Warfare, which held an open beta from the 21st to the 26th of October 2020 and was released on October 30th. On October 28th 2020, Akimbo announced the acquisition of a publishing department for their studio, steve's bread basket, who published Ham Warfare.
