What is your favourite developer company? Mine is ID Tech because they made games like the original DooM games which have serious long standing modding support and Quake for some of those tense DM games!

What are yours?

    I think klei may be my favourite studio. They create amazing games that are all truly unique but backed by strong game design concepts.

    Mark of the ninja - great 2d stealth game were most games in the genre are 3d.

    Invisible Inc - great turn-based Rougelike stealth game.

    Don’t starve - probably one of the best survival games out there that relies on clever resource management rather than combat

    Oxygen not included - a base building survival game, that is well designed to ramp up difficulty with the long term needs of your base

    Griftlands - deck building game with a charming plot and interesting mechanics.

    Each game they output is truly unique and interesting experience with some really clever design choices, but I think the point they became my favourite studio is when I read their article on Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic rewards to appreciate how well thought out their games were.

      Yes, Klei, definitely!

      They take any genre and create a really polished game in it. Then move on.

      Plus - this is subjective - I like their art style.
