Paragon Five
Background
Paragon Five, Inc. is a privately held game development company based out of a Chicago, Illinois suburb. Paragon 5 was founded in 1998 by Paul Bragiel with the intention of creating the highest quality games for the various next generation console machines on the market. In striving to attain this goal, Paragon 5 has prided itself upon hiring people that are not only hard working, but talented in multiple aspects of the game creation process. This coupled with our stance on creating all advanced development tools inhouse allows us the flexibility to push our titles to the absolute limit of the development platform and results in a distinct gameplaying experience.
