Founding Members
Brian McCoy
Brian McCoy is the founder of Midnight Storm Studios, LLC. With a background in IT, systems engineering, and years of hands-on technical work, Brian started the studio in March 2017 as a way to build something lasting—both creatively and personally. His work blends technical rigor with worldbuilding, narrative design, and a deep love of games that respect the player’s intelligence. Midnight Storm Studios exists because Brian believes small teams, honest craftsmanship, and persistence matter more than scale or spectacle. When he isn’t building systems or writing lore, he’s usually refining ideas, experimenting, or quietly pushing projects forward one step at a time.
Derek Hennett
My name is Derek Hennett, and I’m a master’s-level social worker currently practicing as a therapist. I’ve spent my career focused on understanding people, their stories, struggles, and the systems that shape their lives. Video games have been a constant passion of mine for as long as I can remember. One day, I hope to create a game of my own, one that reflects meaningful world-building, emotional depth, and authentic human experience. I currently live in Fruita, Colorado, and I’m working to balance two demanding but deeply fulfilling paths: providing therapy and learning the craft of game creation. My goal is to bring real-world experience, empathy, and psychological insight into interactive storytelling and game design.
