Expanding Focus

Overview

Critical Bit is an independent game developer based in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. We are a young game studio of four friends. We started this because of our passion for games. Critical Bit games are accessible and easy to learn while still offering the depth and novelty to keep players engaged./nWe believe that gaming can play a serious role in training and education. Games have the power to engage people in ways that traditional media haven’t achieved yet. Games can be used to train management and decision making skills, explain abstract concepts and models, simulate controlling a boat or plane, let the player experience medieval life from a historical perspective. Whether it is a training program or an educational game, games can make learning fun!/nWe develop for iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android (phone and tablet), PC and web. Our projects also make use of VR (Virtual Reality) using for instance the Oculus Rift and AR (Augmented Reality). We also, occasionally, make boardgames./nServices/nYou can contact us for several services:/nDevelopment and outsourcing: Besides the development of complete products, you can also hire us to help you with your project.
