Description
Skatanic Studios is a one man game development studio based in Brighton, United Kingdom and headed by Media Production graduate Matt Gambell.
History
In his high school years Matt was always the one spending his lunch times in the computer labs dabbling with various different bits of software. It was here that Matt began teaching himself actionscript making small flash games and interactive adventures. He continued on a path of storytelling by focusing his creative endeavours towards filmmaking, spending three years studying at the University of Lincoln before graduating in September of 2014.
Matt had always had a love for games and talking about them. Even his film work reflected it. In the summer of 2013, Matt wrote and directed WHAT GOES UP – A feature length romantic comedy about game developers. His ongoing mixed interests meant that even throughout his time at University, Matt still made the effort to dabble in development by making small AS3 game demo’s whenever he had time.
It was in early 2014, between the final touches that needed making to his movie and the other thousand words he had to write for his final year dissertation, that the idea for RPG Tycoon began to grow. After creating a tech demo Matt wanted to gauge if it was worth pursuing and in April of 2014, he pitched it on Steam Greenlight. 9 days later it was accepted. Realising he now had a platform for release, Skatanic Studios was born.
He then spent the next year and a half, working on RPG Tycoon in Early Access. With a successful full-launch of the game on February 12, 2016. He would then go on to work on improvements for the game, as well as a fully featured expansion in November of the same year.
Thanks to his previous hard work, in 2016 Matt was hired to Direct King of Crime a feature-length, crime thriller and worked alongside the acting talents of stars Mark Wingett, Claire King and Nicholas Brendon. The film is expected to release later this year with limited theatrical distribution and will be available to purchase on store shelves.
Matt spent 2017 working for Unity Technologies as one of their Online Evangelists, using his vast production skills, and rapid prototyping skills, building scenes and demos to teach users about the engine.
Matt is now freelancing as a Unity specialist, developing prototypes and designing games for clients whilst continuing work on projects for Skatanic Studios.
