History

Founded in 2019, Fat Familiar is an indie game development studio based in the UK and started up by a group of game design graduates who love collaborating together and decided we’d love to continue working together after completing university. The prototype for Wind Up! was developed by one of our team members as his final university project, and it proved to be popular when exhibited at gaming events, so we decided to continue developing it as a team in order to release it commercially.

We have previous experience working together on small game projects whilst at university, and have entered a couple of game jams since graduating.

​Our goal is to create meaningful, fun and memorable experiences for the player, which is reflected in our slogan, "brewing the moments you remember." This is what we focus on, instead of being tied to any specific genre(s.)
