In the 2004-2005 school year, Wolverine Soft gain many new members thanks to a successful mass meeting. The second 48-hour Game Development Contest took place in October, as well as a Game Design Contest in September. Weekly Development Sessions began during this year and proved successful. Finally, the WolverineWare project was launched as the first true Wolverine Soft community project.

2002-2003

Back in the United States, Ed Baraf devoted most of his energy to developing
Crisis Wolverine and advising Wolverine Soft. The group was largely autonomous from him at this point. They worked on assorted small projects.

Crisis Wolverine was the only large project completed and released this year.

2001-2002

In 2001, Ed Baraf spent a year abroad in Japan. He ran Wolverine Soft as President with Phil Cherdron as acting Vice-President. Half-way through the year Phil had to step down, and Paul Oppenheim became the acting Vice-President. At the end of the year Paul and Dave worked on setting up Officer Elections.

The team began the year working on
Burnt Planet, but eventually decided to move on to other projects, including Bomberman 3D.

In year two, Wolverine Soft continued to grow and expand. We had more members and more structure. We started to interact with professors and professional game development companies. We even sponsored tournaments and T-shirts.

Development of
Burnt Planet continued.

1999-2000

Ed Baraf founded Wolverine Soft in 1999, when he was only a freshman at the University of Michigan. He wanted to make games, and no organization comparable to Wolverine Soft existed at the time, so he took the initiative to create one.

In order to move the charter forward, Ed needed four other members to start the group. They didn't have officer positions back then, but these guys did it all.

Aside from getting Wolverine Soft started, we worked on
Crisis Wolverine for the majority of the year, and then moved to Burnt Planet (3D Scorched Earth).
