30 Years of Professional Game Development Experience

Our professional experience spans multiple generations of hardware and software, from early home computers through PlayStation, desktop and mobile systems to modern cross-platform production.

Across Hardware Generations

The team history represented at After Dark Studios reaches from ZX81, C64, Atari ST and Amiga-era development through PlayStation generations, Windows and Linux, mobile platforms, smart TVs and connected devices.

That long view is useful when projects need practical engineering judgment: understanding where performance goes, how platform constraints differ, and when a low-level solution is worth the complexity.
