Nonstop was founded as Gamesmademe in 2011 by Juha Paananen, Teemu Ikonen, Henric Suuronen, and Henrik Karlström. The studio relocated to Singapore, where it raised US$2.9 million in a seed round led by Creandum and Lifeline Ventures. It found acclaim with strategy game Heroes of Honor, its only production.
The game was discontinued in July 2015, according to a post on its Facebook page.
