Navi (Copyright) is a 'serious' game company formed for the duration of University of Illinois at Chicago's Computer Science 426: Video Game Design. This course, taught be Prof. Jason Leigh, challenges the class to come up with an original 'serious' video game concept and create a 'level' or 'chapter' for that game during the Fall semester 2006.

Navi (Copyright) was formed by Ben Dombek, Jason Gorski, and Jonathan Kinkley. As a 'serious' game company, we've appropriated the term 'Navi' for our company for several didactic reasons. First as a reference, a Navi from the Old Testament was a harbinger of enlightenment and wisdom and truth-attributes of ancient seers that we find analagous to our assignment to create a 'serious' game. Navi (Copyright) is also a reference to one of the greatest video games in existence: The Legend of Zelda. Lastly there seems to be a mutual consensus that Navi (Copyright), "just kinda sounds like a pretty tight name for a video game company."
