OUR STORY

Small team.
Big adventures.

Together, we can create what none of us could alone.

Creative Bytes Studios was founded in 2013 in St. Catharines by Paul Caporicci and Shawn Jackson, after each spent a decade working at AAA game studios.

Drawn to the Niagara Region for its quality of life, growing creative talent, and close-knit indie game development community, they set out to build a studio of their own.

OUR BELIEFS

✦

A great idea can come from anywhere

The best games come from sharing ideas freely, regardless of role or discipline.

↻

Iteration is our greatest tool

We test, refine and keep pushing until the experience feels right.

↑

Mistakes are opportunities

We learn from what doesn't work and use it to make the game better.
