Platform-agnostic, our games range from top-grossing mobile titles like Yahtzee With Buddies to upcoming PC/console partyroyale Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. What’s inspired us and challenged us has led us down a weird and wonderful path that we’re glad to have pursued.
Over those past 14 years, we’ve learned a few things and are eager to share our advice, so here are our thoughts on setting out your stall as a studio and what you can do to grow it sustainably.
GAMES YOU NEVER KNEW YOU WANTED
There are countless studios in the world that can make games – and more with each day that passes – so it’s important to work out what makes you stand out: what makes you special and what ingredient you can put in that no-one else can.
We spent a lot of time thinking about what makes a Mediatonic game: what DNA threads our early offbeat titles like Amateur Surgeon together with what we’re currently working on at the moment. And the best answer we’ve come up with is that there’s always a twist – something a little different from the norm.
“Wait,” you’re probably thinking. “You just said we need to find the difference, but your difference is that you’re different?”

HOW DO I MASTER MATERIALS IN KEYSHOT?
One of the best things about KeyShot is its ability to create and render realistic materials. When paired with beautiful lighting, product visualisations take on a whole new level of believability. When it comes to materials, KeyShot isn’t quite as advanced as some other rendering packages, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still able to create some killer materials.
