[edit]NonStop Games was founded in 2011 by Teemu Ikonen, Henrik Karlström, Juha Paananen and Henric Suuronen.[2] In January 2012, NonStop Games launched its first game, Dollar Isle.[3] In April 2012, their second game, PainStars, was launched. The game's community marked the production of over 500,000 drawings some months after launch and the number of daily pictures painted was close to 30,000.[1] In August 2012, NonStop Games announced a new project under the working title "Games IV".
