Origin
Rise of Flight was originally developed by the IT Company NeoQB and published in North America by 777 Studios, the current developer of Rise of Flight.
NeoQB the original developer of Rise of Flight had initially intended the game to be an online only multiplayer flight sim that would have played battle it out in large scale air conflicts. However in 2010, Rise of Flight publisher 777 Studios, headed by long time flight simulation enthusiast, Jason Williams(not of NBA fame) acquired the developers at NeoQB and merged with 777 Studios to take over and continue development of Rise of Flight.
After 777 Studios picked up full development of Rise of Flight, a variety of new features and changes were inevitably implemented to the game including the decision to go free to play permanently and the decision to finally put the game on Steam.
