Kitfox Games is an indie game development studio based in Montreal, Canada. It was co-founded by Tanya X. Short, Jongwoo Kim, Xin Ran Liu, and Mike Ditchburn in June 2013.
History[edit]
According to Short, the founders never worked together before and knew each other as semi-acquaintances at local independent developer meetup in Montreal. After forming a studio, the team participated in a game jam in which they created and submitted their jam entry Sculptorgeist which became a winning finalist. Kitfox Games began development of their first game Shattered Planet as a procedural death labyrinth game. Shattered Planet was released on iOS and later Android, Microsoft Windows, and MacOS in 2014.[1][2]
As of 2019, the studio had eight employees.[3] In March 2019, Kitfox Games partnered with Bay 12 Games to be its publisher for the Steam and itch.io version of Dwarf Fortress. According to a frequently asked questions post, Kitfox Games would manage its relationship with Steam and contractors while Bay 12 Games co-creator Tarn Adams would handle the technical side of the game.[4]
