About Ki10 Games

Founded by friends, fuelled by a stubborn refusal to pick a genre

We're a small independent studio based in the UK. Our goal isn't to chase trends, it's to explore all sorts of different games with a quality first mindset, and to actually finish them.

Who we are

Our story is simple: we've been friends for an incredible amount of time, and with a shared love of making games, we thought it was finally time to build something of our own.

Mark McManus

The QA veteran and game designer of the two of us, with nearly a decade spent making sure games are as polished as they are fun.

Scott Hamilton

The lead artist and world builder, who turns all the daft ideas into things you can actually look at.

The story so far

Where we've got to

We start with KIT

Our first serious project. A 3D action adventure about a kitten earning a knighthood, and nine devlogs deep we had a camera system, a quest tracker and an awful lot of grass.

We learn to finish things

KIT taught us that a two person team needs to ship something before it can ship everything. So we scoped right down and picked a project we could actually get over the line.

Skill Check ships

A daily gaming trivia game, out on Android and the web. Our first real launch, and a complete playable thing rather than another folder full of prototypes.

Boop n Burn is next

A floor is lava party brawler for PC, Switch and Xbox Series, with a demo planned for Steam Next Fest. KIT is parked for now, but definitely not forgotten.
