When I think of game development studios, I don't think of Omaha, NE (for better or worse). I may be alone.

Ben Vu, the founder of SkyVu, actually used to be an animator in Hollywood. He moved back to Omaha to start SkyVu when Battle Bears (which was originally intended to be a movie) took off as an iPhone game.

I just think that's cool.

You're not alone. My brother lives in Omaha and I've visited once. I had no idea it was hiding a tech community (my brother isn't a techie).
