About

Dark Water Studios is an indie game developer studio based in Derry, Northern Ireland.

We pride ourselves on the delivery of tight, fun titles that very often inject our own take on existing genres as well as the development of new and novel game ideas.

We focus on quality of content as well as driving innovative gameplay mechanics and experiences for our players.

In June 2010 we launched DogFighter on the digital distribution platform “Steam”. By October of that year DogFighter made it into Steam’s top ten games of the month. With +100k users, DogFighter has proved we can deliver a fun enjoyable product to the marketplace.

We employ an open design policy during the initial phases of production that allows all Dark Water staff to have their say on how we develop our titles. We engage with gameplayer’s at the earliest stage of development and when a game is released we manage a close relationship with our customers for the betterment of the title in question. We pride ourselves on acting on community feedback and suggestion as well as actually treating our community with the respect they are due. Building this and maintaining this rapport is one of our cornerstones which reinforced our mantra:

“Gameplay Over All”

We don’t make games for ourselves. We make them for you.
