ABOUT 1775 GAMING
Veteran Owned and Operated. Built by a Marine and Disabled Veteran, a lifelong gamer, and a dreamer who refused to wait for permission.

1775 Gaming LLC is proud to be founded and operated by a United States Marine and Disabled Veteran
“GAMING THAT MAKES YOU STRONGER”
Our Mission
1775 Gaming LLC was founded on a simple but revolutionary idea: what if your games made you healthier? What if the hours you spent gaming also made you stronger, faster, and more active in the real world?
We are building a new category of mobile gaming — one where artificial intelligence creates infinite stories, augmented reality brings those stories into your world, and your real-world health and fitness directly powers your in-game progression.
This is not the future of gaming. This is gaming, right now.
Why 1775?
THE SPIRIT OF REVOLUTION
1775 marks the birth of the American fighting spirit — the year citizen soldiers stood against impossible odds and changed the world forever. It is also the year the United States Marine Corps was founded at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia. At 1775 Gaming, we carry that same spirit of discipline, courage, and relentless innovation into every game we build.
What We Stand For
OUR VALUES
INNOVATION FIRST
We build what hasn't been built before. Every title we develop pushes the boundaries of what mobile gaming can be.
COMMUNITY DRIVEN
Our players shape our games. Beta testers, fans, and community members have a direct voice in everything we create.
MISSION READY
Like the soldiers of 1775, we are disciplined, prepared, and committed to executing at the highest level.

MEET THE FOUNDER
Darin Oehlke
Founder, Lead Developer & United States Marine, Disabled Veteran
The logo and the name aren't just for show. My Beloved Corps taught me many things, introduced me to some of the greatest people I've ever known, and made me more than I could have ever imagined. I've been and done a lot of things in my life, but since the wee age of 18 I have always been — and always will be — a United States Marine.
To my Brothers and Sisters out there; past, present, and future: Semper Fidelis. To my cousins, keep pushing for the goal line, we're all cheering for you. To that weird nephew (looking at you, Space Force) — figure your shit out fast. My Active Kin are gonna need Space Chauffeurs soon enough.
I've been a gamer all my life. I was introduced to fantasy novels — the Dragonlance Trilogy, to be exact — before I hit double digits. I've played TTRPGs like D&D (beginning with the original box set through every version to current), Cyberpunk 2020, GURPS, Pathfinder, all of White Wolf's titles, and one of my very favorites: Mutants & Masterminds. I've been a player and a Storyteller/Game Master in all of them.
The first title I'm producing is a mobile game built on M&M. Regardless of your personal feelings on AI, the advances in LLMs provide a unique opportunity. With explicit instructions to adhere to the core rulebooks, several hundred pages of custom homebrew lore, original world and campaign building, and dozens of fully fleshed original NPCs and villains — many of them characters I played myself over the years — I am bringing to the palm of your hand the kind of immersive world you might get sitting at someone's dining room table on a Saturday afternoon.
I hope you enjoy Omniverse: Ascension half as much as I have had building these storylines over the years.
