About

We’re an award-winning studio making games with a team of kick-ass game development, software, and creative media specialists (with a wee bitta magic).

Founded in 2016, Whitepot Studios has been making and creating with a wee bitta magic – be it through creating games for our own IP portfolio, or through bespoke client work.

We are proud to be housed within Northern Ireland’s first creative industry specific co-working space, The Pixel Mill, where we are surrounded by and work with a wide range of lovely, talented people. With everyone currently working remotely, we’re still part of the lovely local game development family.

Let's team up!

Ludum Dare #36 – Day Two

Ludum Dare #36 – Day Two

Update, September 2016: Check out the final result here!

Time is ticking! So Ludum Dare have announced the theme as “Ancient Technology”. There is SO much to do here. This is a great theme with loads of potential, and it’s very easy to get carried away and bite off more than you can chew.

Update, September 2016: Check out the final result here!

What better way to kick off Whitepot Studios than get stuck in to Ludum Dare #36 running from August 26th – August 29th 🙂

We’ve been voting all week and have a few preferred themes but we’ll see what we’re dealing with when the clock strikes 2am (seriously).

So, if you know me and Adam, it’ll be pretty explanatory as to where the name “Whitepot” came from. Finally, some benefit to having Potts as a surname. Adam Whiteside + Vicky Potts = WhitePot.

But what about the logo? No, I can assure you, it’s not a cheap cop-out using the first Google Images result for “white pot”.
