We are a Belgian indie studio and we cherish this identity.
As we are lucky enough to be self-funded, we can choose our own projects and maintain our freedom as we carry them out. We want to offer you unique gaming experiences while having fun in the process. We are ambitious and motivated. We want to explore innovative gameplays, new universes and creative stories.
In our studio, there is no room for ego, but plenty of space for individuality. Within our flat structure, each team member can find their own place within our shared vision. Finally, we keep a balanced, crunch-free work environment. We truly prioritize our team members’ happiness and health above all else.
Is our name just a funny acronym?
At BUG, we choose to develop our games based on the Bottom Up method. We start from game mechanics and build everything around them. This enables us to create an engaging gaming experience for the player, while still offering a coherent and unique world.
We truly believe that creating games is a collaborative and inclusive team effort. It seemed natural to us to go the extra mile and implement a Bottom Up management and decision-making process. To bring our vision to life, we build on our team’s strengths, ideas and individuality.
Have fun together, overcome challenges together whatever our background.
Whether it’s bringing back cooperative split-screen, or offering game nights with friends, our goal remains the same throughout: bringing people closer through multiplayer gaming.
We thrive on proposing gaming experiences where everyone can have a good time, whether they be veteran players or newcomers.
An engaging and rewarding experience for everyone
Input, response, context, aesthetics, … It’s all the little things that make playing a game a thrilling moment. As a small indie studio, we work hard to fine-tune these aspects to make our games an immersive experience. We design them so that a player of any skill level can master and enjoy them.
The aesthetic part of our games also plays a huge part in our creation process. It allows the story to fully deploy itself and complements the game feel.
