The Genesis of Corrupted Media

Corrupted Media was formed in the dorm rooms of Kennesaw State University when Sean Feeser and Ben Snowden asked, “What would it be like to swing around in Virtual Reality?” Sean and Ben created the first build of Vertical Shift to answer that question. 

They shared this basic game with friends who had a blast and demanded more. Motivated by this feedback, Sean and Ben expanded the team and set out to build the game they wanted to play. Much of the early development of Vertical Shift was done with the support of Kennesaw State’s Game Design school and as a part of class programs. 

Now, members of the team have either graduated or are near graduation, and are looking to focus their efforts on developing this game professionally. 

Encouragement from playtesters has been a driving motivator throughout development so far. We have had players from around the world engage with our Beta.
