==History==

Crazy Monkey Studios was founded in 2010 by Steven Verbeek and Martijn Holtkamp, after they met at a game conference. They teamed up to develop the game 'Empire: The deck building strategy game'. With limited resources, they created Empire and launched it on iOS and Android. In 2014 the studio teamed up with [[Claeysbrothers]] to publish their game [[Guns, Gore and Cannoli]] and launched the game on Steam, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch in 2015. After a success release they again worked with Claeysbrothers to program and publish a sequel for them and launched [[Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2]] in 2018 on the same platforms. Since then, according to a Claeysbrothers developer, Crazy Monkey Studios has stopped working with Claeysbrothers and has refused requests from them to make a third game. The Crazy Monkey team split up in 2018 and the majority relocated to a new office location in [[Geel]], Belgium for a new start.

They teamed up with [[Warcave]] in 2018 to develop the real time strategy game ''[[War Party (video game)|War Party]]'' that got released on Steam, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-07-17 |title=Crazy Time Winning Tricks, Strategies and Tips |url=https://carzytime.com/crazy-time-strategy/ |access-date=2023-08-15}}</ref>
