Whatboy Games is a remote-first indie developer based in the UK, but comprised of developers from across the globe.

Our debut title, Trials of Fire launched in 2021 and we are now in pre-production on our 2nd game.

We are a small team at the moment with ambitious plans for growth but more importantly we pride ourselves on focusing on quality in everything that we do while also respecting the reality that developers have their own personal lives and private ambitions.
