WolverineSoft Studio
Cellosseum was created by 38 people at the University of Michigan's WolverineSoft Studio, a student games studio undertaking semester long projects. It is an educational case study of Chimeric's Nova Drift, and takes inspiration from its game mechanics as well as other games in the genre. Work on this project took place between May and August 2023.
