History
Kitty Powers' Matchmaker was started in January 2013 by Richard Franke and Kieran Keegan, shortly after Richard formed Magic Notion Ltd.
It was self funded by Richard doing contract work for other developers, and self published.
It was born out of a challenge set by the developers to themselves, to create a unique new type of game that did not rely on violence or destruction to create gameplay. A game that would have a human touch, and that would take a unique view on an everyday situation that most people have some experience of.
It was also very important to them to make sure that the game was inclusive of everyone.
From the start it was intended to be humorous, and to set it apart from many other games on the app store, Richard decided to include his alter ego Kitty Powers in the game, to add a unique and humorous twist.
Other team members contributed to over the course of development:

In 2016/17 Stellar Entertainment Software, led by Paul Ross, also an alumnus of Criterion Games, helped Magic Notion to port the game to Playstation 4 and XBox One.
