Does anyone know of any smallish game developers, making games of decent quality? Doesn't matter where they're located or what kind of games they make. I'm also interested in newly started companies, as well as planned startups, so if anyone has anything at all I'm interested. :smile:

Heh, incidentally I found that same site just yesterday. :smile:

Too bad my former internship company, Triangle Studios, isn't on the list. They've been working for a few years and last year they went full-time. It's a small team of about 5 people now and they're working on some DS games. During my internship we did two mobile games too. I would guess there's many more companies out there of about that size that never really show up on the charts. You've got to make some contacts somehow to get to know them.

Just out of interest, why the interest in small and new companies? :smile:

Whoa, excellent link Finger. Bookmarked :smile:

Welp Mr. P, I'd presume that Otz is ready to branch out into the wide world of game developers? :smile:

Captain P: Unfortunately I can't tell you at this moment, but hopefully I will be able to a bit later.

G.Ballblue: I'm not looking for a game related job, that much I can say. :smile:

Hmm, I've got an idea on what you're doing, let's see if I was right once you tell what this is for. :wink:

Either way, good luck... with whatever it is! :smile:
