Robomodo was an American independent video game developer based in Chicago, Illinois. Robomodo was formed in early 2008 by former employees of Midway Games and EA Chicago. They are best known for being the developer of several post-Neversoft games in the Tony Hawk franchise from Tony Hawk: Ride (2009) to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 (2015), most of which were met with varying degrees of negative reception from critics and fans alike. Nearly a year after Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 was released, Robomodo went out of business.

Game history

On November 28, 2011, the company launched a project on Kickstarter to produce a game called Bodoink, a pinball-inspired game using the Kinect for Xbox Live Arcade. The game was being developed by its subsidiary Robomite, which focused on family-friendly games, and had a funding goal of $35,000.{{Cite web|url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/robomodo-looking-to-fund-kinect-game-via-kickstarter/1100-6346811/|title=Robomodo looking to fund Kinect game via Kickstarter|publisher=GameSpot|first=Jonathan|last=Downin|date=2011-11-29|accessdate=2020-03-14|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20200315131758/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/robomodo-looking-to-fund-kinect-game-via-kickstarter/1100-6346811/|archivedate=2020-03-15}}
