The story
CJ Connoy spent 32 years in AAA production and creative leadership: over a decade at Treyarch on Call of Duty: Black Ops 1–4, shipped sports titles at Sony PlayStation (NFL, NCAA, NBA, MLB), and was twice trusted by Sony to help stand up brand-new AAA studios from zero — Founding Senior Producer at Deviation Games, then Founding Senior Lead, Design at SIE's Dark Outlaw Games, where he started the co-op prototype that became the foundation of the studio's main AAA IP.
One Day Games is what he does with that now: he personally builds faithful digital companions for tabletop creators — instant-play browser versions of physical games that carry the original's feel into a new medium. Each companion goes from the creator's game to live and playable in about a month, and two have shipped so far, for two different tabletop studios. The creators keep their IP; the companion drives discovery and points players back to the physical game.

Quotable
“A faithful companion is a love letter, not a copy. It never competes with the box on your shelf.”
“I reinterpret, I don't reinvent. The companion carries the game's feel into a new medium — and the creator keeps the IP.”
“The companion's job is discovery. It gives people a taste of the game's heart anywhere, then points them straight back to the table.”
