33 Gamma

33 Gamma L.L.C., founded by Christopher Shilts, is a pioneering First Amendment company focused on creating engaging and innovative digital experiences. The brand is best known for its flagship product, Dixie Ball, an immersive adventure game that offers players a unique platforming experience with extensive updates, including the latest versions that enhance gameplay and address player feedback. Originally inspired by traditional platformers, Dixie Ball has evolved into a challenging adventure set within a single map, extending gameplay to approximately two hours for skilled players. The game is free and open source, promoting community engagement and accessibility, while also featuring a selection of original music.

In addition to game development, 33 Gamma is dedicated to fostering local journalism through its website, Manistee Speaks, which aims to create a platform for honest reporting and community discussions. With an audience that continues to grow, the company strives to connect people by bypassing corporate media influence, reinforcing its commitment to free expression and community engagement.
