Miah met up with Joe again in 2003, and the two co-founded 5th Cell with Brett Caird and Marius Falbusch on August 28th. They initially primarily developed Java-based mobile games during their early years, with the studio building a relationship with [[THQ]] via their THQ Wireless division for these releases. While these games saw modest success, it wasn't until the release of the 2006 PC puzzle game D.N.A when they ventured into more ambitious creative avenues for their games.

Unfortunately, D.N.A sold very poorly, leading to 15 employees being laid off.<ref>[https://gamesbeat.com/scribblenauts-game-developer-makes-a-risky-bet-on-being-original/ Scribblenauts game developer makes a risky bet on being original, GamesBeat]</ref>
Miah brainstormed ideas for a potential [[Nintendo DS]] game, one that would utilize it's features in a unique way. The original concept of drawings coming to life was within Miah's head for around six months before the studio began working on a prototype. The team wanted the experience to be deeper than a mere gimmick, however they also felt they wanted to allow the player to always draw something new. The platforming aspect was added to that initial concept, with village interaction and a story added as time went on, inspired by the [[:Wikipedia:Square Enix|SquareSoft]] game [[:Wikipedia:ActRaiser|ActRaiser]]<ref>[[File:Actraiser.png|100px]]</ref>, as well as the visual concepts of [[:wikipedia:Hayao Miyazaki|Hayao Miyazaki]] films.
