Sassy Chap Games has signed with Creative Artists Agency for representation.
The partnership will see CAA work with the creator-led transmedia company to establish new games and expand its IP across film, TV, publishing, consumer products and live experiences. Sassy Chap Games, led by Final Fantasy voice actors-turned-developers Ray Chase and Robbie Daymond, has a growing portfolio of franchise-building properties that includes debut game Date Everything!.
Featuring a cast of over 100 voice actors, including Felicia Day (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural), Matthew Mercer (Critical Role), and Troy Baker (The Last of Us), Date Everything! has sold over 725,000 copies.
“Sassy Chap Games is built on the belief that the best franchises start with creators and communities powering the experience,” Daymond, CEO of Sassy Chap Games, said in a statement. “In an era where community is the ultimate currency, collaborating with artists and talent who have built-in fan bases to bring our games to life creates a strong foundation for our IP to grow from day one. Partnering with CAA will allow us to expand these worlds across every medium fans touch.”
As Date Everything! moves beyond the game-playing screen, Sassy Chap Games unveiled its first consumer products partnership with Youtooz to get into the toy and collectibles space with four fan-favorite characters from the popular indie game.
“Robbie, Ray, and the Sassy Chap team are redefining how entertainment franchises are built,” Matthew Cohen, games agent at CAA, added in his own statement. “Their creator-led, fan-powered approach positions them to grow IP that resonates across gaming, publishing, products, and beyond. We are thrilled to support them in expanding these worlds for global audiences,” he added as Sassy Chap Games continues to expand Date Everything! across publishing, products, live experiences and other platforms.
Sassy Chap Games’ executive team includes Logan Burdick as COO and chief content officer. Burdick previously produced digital content for Maker Studios and Endemol Shine, and served as vp of production at pocket watch, where he oversaw creative development and production of original digital content and series.
