Independent video game developer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
17-Bit is an independent video game developer. The company was founded as Haunted Temple Studios in 2009 by Jake Kazdal, formerly an artist with Sega, to make games with a 16-bit era aesthetic.[1] The name changed to 17-Bit in May 2012 with a logo designed by Cory Schmitz.[2] Gamasutra described the team, based in both Kyoto and Seattle,[3] as an example of successful indie cross-platform development for its work on Skulls of the Shogun.[4] GungHo Online Entertainment became 17-Bit's house publisher in October 2014 as the developer worked on Galak-Z: The Dimensional.[5][6]
