Two Bristol-based games studios have been selected for the Creative Enterprise: Games Scale Up 2022/23 programme.

The six-month programme, which has been developed by Creative England and UKIE, the games trade body, aims to help companies in the games sector develop and grow their businesses.

Foggy Box Games was founded in 2017 by two members of the University of the West of England’s games division, Play West.

To date, the studio has developed two games. Both use Virtual Reality, with the first, Brunch Club (pictured above), asking its players to cook a meal while navigating challenges and hazards, while its second has its players doing a similar thing but with beverages in space.

The second studio to join the cohort is Meteor Pixel Limited, an outsourcing partner which specialises in Epic Games’ Unreal Engine. The studio provides external development services for the video games and extended reality sectors.

The company has worked with a number of different companies including Bristol-based games studio Auroch Digital, Stroud-based augmented experience team All Seeing Eye and Bristol-based marketing firm Diva.

This year’s Games Scale Up programme is being supported by Barclays.
