Roll7

Rollingmedia Limited, doing business as Roll7, is a British video game developer based in London, England. The company was founded by Simon Bennett, Tom Hegarty, and John Ribbins in 2008, as a sister project to Rollingsound.[1] Initially, they were developing Dead Ends, a role-playing video game as tie-in with Channel 4's anti-knife crime campaign, but it was cancelled later on. From 2009 to 2011, they developed five games for NeuroSky's brain wave measurement headset, MindWave, including the ADHD treatment game Focus Pocus. In 2012, Roll7 released mobile game Gets to the Exit. The studio gained acclaim with its 2014 skateboarding-focused sports game OlliOlli, which received multiple awards and nominations in different categories, and won the BAFTA Award for video games in the category "Sport", at the 11th British Academy Games Awards. The game was succeeded by OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood in 2015, and the same year, Not a Hero was also released.
