Dreamloop Games

Dreamloop is an independent game dev studio from Tampere, Finland. We make games with heart and teeth, and we help others do the same with co-development and porting services. We have extensive experience porting Unity 3D and Unreal Engine 4 games from PC to consoles and deftly navigate console-specific certification processes. In addition to bringing our own title "Stardust Galaxy Warriors" from PC to Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, we have a strong track record of helping developers and publishers successfully launch titles across all major consoles. We offer a full art pipeline from concept design to finished game- or marketing/community-ready assets. We're well-equipped to create full assets from scratch or step in as a part of a pre-existing pipeline. Our audio team has extensive experience in producing and implementing game audio, as well as in composing music. Our critically acclaimed own-IP title Stardust Galaxy Warriors features a full-length album-quality soundtrack. Dreamloop Games is a proud member of Remote Control Productions, Europe's largest game development family.
