About Us

State of Play makes lovingly crafted games and animations.

Established in 2008, State of Play’s work has won a number of international awards including a BAFTA for Artistic Achievement for our handmade puzzle adventure game Lumino City and an Apple Design Award for our iOS game INKS.

Our most recent game South of the Circle has been nominated for an Apple Design Award, at the DICE Awards, and four times at the Develop: Star Awards.

We also made the puzzle game KAMI and its BAFTA nominated sequel KAMI 2.

Headed by co-founders Luke Whittaker and Katherine Bidwell, we’ve been honoured to work with dozens of talented artists, developers, musicians and game makers. Maybe you could be the next?

We love to hear interesting things so please get in touch with us!
