Description
Greenfly Studios is a British micro- games studio based in Derbyshire, set up by Stephen Morris and Katie Young in 2011. The extended team features talent from Sega, Disney, Nestle, Aardman Digital and more. We make mobile, desktop and whiteboard games that are innovative and entertaining for all ages.
History
Pre-Greenfly
Katie Young and Stephen Morris first started working together in 2005, with both graduating from Staffordshire University with first class degrees. Focusing on educational titles, the intrepid pair were contracted to work on the forefront of learning technology utilising Promethean devices.
Greenfly’s First Game
After working on educational titles for seven years, the desire to create independently owned games burned brightly and Greenfly Studios was founded in July, 2011. Ski Solitaire was released shortly afterwards and, although a quiet launch, fortunes changed in April 2012 when Ski Solitaire was made Apple’s ‘New & Noteworthy’ and ‘What’s Hot’ for Cards and Eurogamer’s App of the Day.
Recent
Greenfly Studios is currently working on their iOS game ‘Drop That Candy’, due for release on the Apple AppStore September 26th. It has already been shortlisted for the Develop Indie Showcase 2013 and they are expecting to port the game to Mac and Windows 8 supported devices. They are also working on PSMove games QuickDraw & GlowTag – both have been included for the E3 IndieCade Showcase.
