ABOUT THE OPERATORS

​                 Starting as two peculiar college students, Barry and DeLon knew they struck oil when meeting each other. They often entertained one another with countless ideas when pulling off their heavily caffeinated all-nighters. As adults, they believe collaboration and artistry are at the forefront of making content. They hold this belief so firmly that they've decided to band together on passion projects after they clock out of their day jobs, often burning the midnight oil.
​                 DeLon and Barry have sworn to keep innovating and partnering with many passionate creators to help their dreams ignite!

Robi | Studio Mascot

Robi (row·bee) Muffle passionately runs the Gas Station here at Midnight Oil. She usually can shoo away the oddities that circle the mini-mart, but ever since she slipped on an oil puddle and cracked her CPU, her programming's been a bit… janky. But business is BOOMING, so if it’s broke, don’t  fix it!
