Description

Stray Basilisk is an indie games studio which was formed in 2017 by Jason Davey, Paul Sim and Andrew Trahan.

History

Birth of a Basilisk

The team first assembled around a prototype created by programmer Jason Davey. After creating a proof-of-concept in order to explore ideas for a twist on turn-based / tactical game mechanics, Jason saw the potential in the project and reached out for collaborators. Paul Sim answered the call first, joining the project as a composer. Later that year Andrew came on board as a sound designer. Since then the trio, spread across three time-zones, have collaborated remotely on the game. Each works on their respective area of expertise, and shares responsibility for the overall design and direction of the project. As this game took shape, it would ultimately be titled "Steamhounds".

In August 2017, the team officially adopted the name of Stray Basilisk.
The company was incorporated in December 2018.
