== History ==
== History ==
Tyron Madlener and Irena Madlener (AKA Saraty) were both extremely fond of the survival game genre, most notably {{w|Minecraft}} which they played together for several years. Growing disappointed with the direction the game was taking, they created the mod {{El|https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/butterfly-mania|Butterfly Mania}} in November 2014 in an effort to liven up the game world they grew to enjoy so much. This interest in modding the game eventually lead to the creation of {{El|https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/vintagecraft|Vintagecraft}} in March 2015, a total conversion mod for Minecraft that altered the terrain generation, added a multitude of new blocks, introduced a new crafting system and slowed the general game progression. Such a large project, however, made them keenly aware of the limitations of the games' modding API.

Later in 2015, Tyron was hired by {{El|https://hypixelstudios.com/|Hypixel Studios}}<sup><small>[[#References|[3]]]</small></sup> to work on {{w|Hytale}}, but quickly discovered that the games' vision was not what he had originally suspected. This was the catalyst which eventually led him to found Anego Studios in February 2016 after leaving Hypixel Studios, and begin the development of ''Vintage Story'' with the goal of turning the concept of Vintagecraft into a standalone game.

This was the catalyst which soon led him to leave Hypixel Studios and found Anego Studios in February 2016, there to begin the development of ''Vintage Story'' with the goal of creating a standalone game, fully realising the concepts underlying <i>Vintagecraft</i>.

Despite rumors to the contrary, Tyron has never had any connection with the Minecraft mod <i>TerraFirmaCraft</i>.  There is no connection between <i>Vintagecraft</i> and <i>TerraFirmaCraft</i>!
