Noey Games was a video game development company founded in March 2001 by Nick Phillips and Joseph Justus. Noey is a portmanteau of the names Nick and Joey. Noey Games produced several video games, including Pokémon White and The Legend of Ryan.
Standard practice at Noey Games had a lead developer assigned to each title, with all development taking place within the lead's home office on a single workstation. However, occasionally game builds circulated between developers using floppy disks.
Joseph Justus moved to Connecticut in August 2005, causing developer collaboration to plummet. Development progress on game titles that had been assigned to Justus was not copied to other developers at the time. When Noey Productions, and by extension Noey Games, was merged into Cracked Egg Studios in 2006, development progress of these titles was apparently lost in the merger.
Noey Games, did, however, release several games that were not video games:
