An independent, founder-led game studio building original titles with the engineering discipline of mission-critical software.
The Interactive Division is the game-development arm of Unlimited Data Works LLC. The company is how Craig LaForest provides fractional-CTO and technical-leadership services; the Interactive Division is where that same engineering discipline goes into original games.
It is a deliberately small, founder-led operation. Craig drives the design, the engine work, and the production directly — no outsourced core, no headcount implied by a logo. The studio builds one focused game at a time, caps its scope, and ships it finished.
Craig LaForest — Founder & Technical Lead
Craig has spent 25+ years leading technology in mission-critical environments where downtime and defects are not options — carrying a track record of 99.99%+ uptime and systems that stay correct under pressure. That background is the foundation of the studio: a game is a real-time software system, and the same rigor that keeps critical systems running is what makes a game feel solid.
Craig is a hands-on engineer and technical leader. On Grimoire & Grime, that means the GPU dirt-mask tech, the data-driven content pipeline, and the DualSense feel are built and owned by one person who is accountable for the whole stack. The studio is intentionally one person — honest about scale, and credible about what one focused developer can ship.

The studio's current game, Grimoire & Grime, is in development for PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam).
