Inludo Game Development

Inludo Game Development is an inactive two-person development studio. They're known for their browser games, with the most notable being the Sunset Racer franchise. The current employees are Tom Manshaus and Barry Swan.

History
Inludo was founded in 2001 by Tom Manshaus. It is unknown when Barry Swan joined. They started off with games that were mostly sponsored, although they made their own small games too. They later made a reskin of one of their old sponsored games, Ford Fiesta Racing Challenge II, which is how Sunset Racer was born. They changed the menu design, track direction, skybox, and car model. The game was hosted on shockwave.com and got popular really quickly. Seeing how much of a success Sunset Racer was, they started to make a sequel in 2007. They hired a 3D modeler named Bo Mathorne Schou-Nielsen. When the Sunset Racer sequel had all of its basic features fully implemented, Inludo decided to add some extra tracks to the game. They later released the demo under the name Sunset Racer 1.X: Evolution to get feedback on the new features. As described by the company, it was a "stepping ladder to SR2". Two years later, Sunset Racer 2 was released to the public, although the company said that it would receive updates with extra features soon, such as the Track Editor or Story Mode. However, that never happened, and the fanbase was very disappointed. Inludo pretty much went into complete obscurity after the release of SR2. They made a division of their company called PlayLevel, which was dedicated to mobile games, although it wasn't successful at all. Inludo has been inactive since 2015, when Manshaus has decided to move on to animation.
