Two people, one studio

Mark McManus

Design, Programming & QA

Mark is the QA veteran of the two of us, with 10 years of professional games QA behind him, including work at Supermassive Games, Creative Assembly and Unity. Spending a decade finding bugs turns out to be good preparation for making your own games.

On Ki10 projects he handles game design, programming and systems. He built Skill Check from first prototype to store release, and on KIT it was the camera rig, the quest and map tracking, and the moment to moment feel of a thing. He also writes most of the devlogs, including the one about how a childhood injury and a copy of Crash Bandicoot started all of this.

Scott Hamilton

Art & World Building

Scott is the lead artist and world builder, and the reason any of this is worth looking at. Characters, environments, logos, UI. If it made it onto the screen, it came through him first.

He’s also the source of most of the good ideas that turn up disguised as scope creep. The creature garden in KIT started life as one of his "just hear me out" pitches, and it stayed.
