About Our Studio

specialists in graphics and games technology
The vibe at Weaseltron? We all love what we do. Almost everyone's a programmer, and very good at it! But it's relaxed. A unique mix I haven't seen in any other studio.
Nina

Weaseltron is a 'boutique code studio' specialising in graphics and games. A place where seniors can chat about cutting-edge tech, work with the most interesting engines, and do the work we love.

Working with industry-leading publishers such as Rockstar, EA, Criterion, Supermassive, and others, we have used our cutting-edge experience on some of the best selling games and most well-known franchises such as LA Noire, GTA V, DiRT 4.

"Why have I never heard of Weaseltron?"

It’s a good question. Some of the games we’ve worked on have gone on to make a lot in sales. You’d think a web search would uncover more information. The truth is that we haven’t really ever done publicity. We don’t do advertising. We don’t blow our own trumpet; perhaps we don’t do that as much as maybe we should.

Weaseltron was formed in 2007 and since then worked with a variety of studios and further word of mouth has given us many strong work relationships. We're not looking for fame - our clients know us best, and that's what really matters.
