Description

Half Past Yellow is an independent game development studio, based in Copenhagen, Denmark, founded and run by a group of close friends over their shared love of the high-pressure experimental environment of game jams.

With many years of combined experience in the industry, the members of Half Past Yellow have worked extensively with other studios on contemporary titles across several different platforms such as Affordable Space Adventures (WiiU, 2015), Frantics (PS4, 2018), and Mutazione (Cross-Platform, 2019) among others.

The Half Past Yellow team initially started when Gian Dbeis, Max Wrighton, and Remy Stuurwold first met each other during the EUCROMA academic exchange in Copenhagen in 2014. The team bonded over a love of local multiplayer games and spent most of their free time building games together. After completing their respective degrees the group returned to Copenhagen in 2015 to casually work together until eventually founding the company in 2017.
