A boutique video games developer and console porting specialist in Manchester has said it is on track to double its revenue this year.
Huey Games, which has reported a 43% growth in its revenue since 2018, has also almost doubled its headcount over the last six months.
The company now employs seven members of staff and has recently added two new programmers to the team, James Easton and Joshua Riley, following their graduation last year from the University of Central Lancashire’s computer games development course.
Recent successes for the business include the completion of three console projects - Radical Rabbit Stew, Silk and Switch 'N' Shoot – and a content build (digital artbook, dynamic theme and custom soundtrack app) for both the TV and Deluxe Edition bundles of Little Nightmares 2 on the PS4.
The team at Huey Games recently celebrated a milestone 40,000 sales for its Nintendo Switch port for The Mystery of Woolley Mountain, a Kickstarter funded adventure game originally developed for Mac and PC by Lightfoot Brothers.
