In 2004, Wahoo Studios introduced the brand name NinjaBee for its self-funded games.[2]
In January 2007, Wahoo Studios announced that they were joining the massively multiplayer online game genre with Saga, an MMORTS, based in a persistent world.[3] In August 2007, they split - Saga Games and Silverlode Interactive finished the development of the game.[4]
