Press Kit: Rarebyte

Press kit and media

Description

We are an Austrian independent game studio with 20+ years’ experience and a track record of 30+ published titles.

History

The people behind Rarebyte originally met back in 1999. After working together and sharpening our skills for several years, we officially founded Rarebyte as a company in 2006. Right from the start we were aiming for the top, so we skipped the cliché of a garage-based company and went straight for the attic.

In 2008 we self-published our first official release called Waterstorm, a fast-paced side-scrolling multi-player submarine shooter. We developed all needed tech (game engine, editor, game client, backend) ourselves.

Since then, Rarebyte has become a well-established indie game studio.

Publishing

We also publish games by other indie developers, such as Ratz Instagib, where 'Shoot first, eat cheese later' is a valid philosophy of life.

Event-based games

We also have a long history of developing games designed to attract people to stands at events like Gamescom and Paris Games Week.
