Tilted Mill Entertainment is a video game developer located in Winchester, Massachusetts. It was founded in 2002 by former Impressions Games lead designer and general manager Chris Beatrice, business manager Peter Haffenreffer, and designer Jeff Fiske. The studio is known for its city-building games.
The company has employed 20 staff in design, programming, creative, and administrative roles. Tilted Mill is a reference to Don Quixote ("Tilting at windmills"). Tilted Mill developed the fifth game of the SimCity series, titled SimCity Societies (all previous titles had been developed by Maxis). The game, however, was criticized for its lack of the traditional SimCity gaming formula.[1]
On July 11, 2008, Tilted Mill announced the creation of their first independent game titled Hinterland.[2] According to Tilted Mill's website, "In Hinterland, you build up and lead a small village, populated by simple townsfolk struggling to survive and prosper in the wild back country of a medieval fantasy world." The game was released on Steam on 30 September 2008. After starting the development on their next game, Medieval Mayor, the team ceased communication and no more games have been released since then, with Medieval Mayor going into hiatus. No announcements on the fate of the software house has been made, with the last message posted on their Facebook page in 2016. [3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
