The company started as an indie developer White Elephant in 2003.[4] Later the name was changed to Elephant Games. The first released projects were for PC. Through year 2006 the company produced three parts of the arcade top-down shooter RIP. The game was first published by Meridian4 [5] and then distributed as a trilogy bundle on Steam.[6]
