In recent years, Breda has increasingly developed into a vibrant breeding ground for creativity and technology. Thanks to the course 'Creative Media & Game Technologies', Breda has become an important starting point for many game studios. In this blog, we will list the game studios in Breda for you and discover which games they are creating.

Sassybot

Sassybot is the indie game development studio of Tino van der Kraan and Elwin Verploegen. Since 2012, the company has been making games. Over the years, they have released more than ten games. Many of these games were created during various game jams. Two games from Sassybot are available for purchase on Steam, namely ‘Winkeltje: The Little Shop’ and ‘Fragments of Him’.

Nifty Llama

Nifty Llama makes games with a focus on the emotions of the player and the exploration of the storyline. This is reflected in their game 'The Long Way Home', of which 'Ruth's Journey' is a part. At the moment, Nifty Llama is working on a new game.

Twirlbound

School friends Marc Peyré and Matthijs van de Laar decided to establish the company Twirlbound in 2013 while they were both studying Game Development. For their final school project, Pine, they asked a number of former classmates to help develop the game further. This proved to be a wise choice. Pine was nominated for several awards and won a few, including the ‘Best Student Project’ at the Unity Awards and six awards at the Game Bakery Awards.

JamPics

At JamPics, joy is central! The duo behind the company creates funny, cute, and over-the-top games. At the end of 2023, JamPics released their first indie game called ‘Gardenbuddies’. They haven't sat still for a moment as their new game ‘Footsy’ is already in the works.

Starbrew Games

Starbrew Games is a small game development studio in Prinsenbeek. At the moment, the team is hard at work on the launch of their first game. The team originated during a school project at Breda University of Applied Sciences. The idea was recognised, which motivated the team to create a full version. The process of expanding the game can be followed via podcasts from the team.
