We are Cloth Cat Games, an award winning development studio making games and interactive experiences for a variety of platforms. We’re specialists in Unity with several game releases to our name for PC and mobile, as well as web, studio and installations. In addition we have created over twenty HTML5 games for browser and mobile platforms since we established.
We have years of combined experience in development, design, filmmaking, animation and story writing. We utilise this diverse skill set and our collaborative experience to create new IP that finds niches in the way we tell stories, develop mechanics and bring characterful projects to life.
The company is based in Cardiff, Wales alongside our sister studio Cloth Cat; and with our funky fresh rebrand comes exciting change and laser focus on games development looking to originate new IP and work collaboratively with other studio’s on projects. This also sees us broaden out to PC/console multi-platform releases as the audience and model is a good fit for the games we aim to create. Our years of experience in developing, optimising and releasing to mobile platforms will continue to inform our work and our ability to port projects to these stores.
If we’re not making games then we’re playing them, and if we’re not playing them then we’re probably reading about them, and if not that then err sleeping (… and dreaming about them?! …this has gone too far hasn’t it)
Check out our Services page to see what we can offer; if you’re looking to commission a game to be developed or if you’re a games dev team looking for some additional hands on deck, we can probably jump in where needed and help craft something great.
