Description
Whiteboard Games is a digital entertainment team based in Argentina. Their slogan is "we are creators, designers, developers and gamers making the games we would want to play. Our objective is to build unique, authentic and fun experiences for players around the world, all starting in an empty whiteboard".
History
In 2019, some members of Whiteboard Games worked together on a time-travel puzzler called Tempus Vitae, a game that they presented at that year's Bit Bang Fest in Argentina. Once that was finished, they started working together on a new title. I See Red came to life at the beginning of 2020 as a university project for Da Vinci school's Design and Videogame Programming course.
Eventually, the game grew as a thesis project and, once the developers graduated, they decided to continue it further to a commercial enterprise. Whiteboard grew from then to today, with now 30 members and ISR released on October 24th, 2022.
While in the search for a publisher for I See Red, Whiteboard made the contact with the Neutrón Project Accelerator. A member of the team had already worked in a project that had Neutrón as an investor, and through that conection the accelerator got to know the company and decided to support it.
In June 2022, Whiteboard Games announced a partnership with Gameforge to be I See Red's publisher. Gameforge is the leading publisher of very popular MMOs, including AION, OGame, NosTale, Ikariam, and Swords of Legends Online. In 2022, Gameforge partnered also with Trigon: Space Story, their first indie title, with I See Red joining to expand their catalog of single-player games while also being their first game from a Latin American studio.
In August 2023, Gameforge and Whiteboard Games mutually agreed to part ways from I See Red in search of new horizons. Whiteboard announced that new titles are in development, that I See Red would continue to receive updates, and that work would continue to bring the game to new platforms.
On February 9th, 2024, it was announced that I See Red was compatible and available to play on the Steam Deck.
On November 28th, 2024, polish publisher RedDeer.Games and Whiteboard Games announced a partnership to port and release I See Red on Nintendo Switch. I See Red launched on Nintendo Switch on February 26th of the same year.

Selected Articles
- "I See Red is super distinct; great black and white style with this red juxtaposed violence. It just works. The detail in this brutal, isometric world is incredible as well. But it has all the gameplay substance to back up the style. And that means: tight, intuitive controls; fluid, fast-paced battles; and this great rewarding sense of progression."
- Matt Casamassina, Co-founder of IGN Entertainment; founder and CEO of Rogue, Rogue Jam: Episode 2 - "It's fast and flashy with a pounding gameplay tempo to match."
- IGN, I See Red Preview - "'I See Red' stands out for its ambitious scale/scope, and has had great progress during its production along the MPVP ('My First Published Videogame' in Spanish) mentorship program, organized by ADVA."
- Jury of EVA AWARDS 2021, TG Tecno - "Each new run is an unexplored path with new powers to accumulate and bosses to defeat."
- David Palacio, Extragamers
