Description

Powerhoof is a two man independent games studio located in Melbourne, Australia. While both tinker in all aspects of game development, Barney Cumming is the preeminent artist and animator, and Dave Lloyd's background is in programming.

Their first project was Crawl - The dungeon crawler where your friends control the monsters. This was followed up by Regular Human Basketball, a multiplayer party-starter (no giant mechanical death-machines here), and pulp adventure thriller The Drifter - as wells as a plethora of smaller free titles.

Both members of the duo now have a pet project they're currently working on - Barney with Acid Knife, and Dave with The Telwynium.

History

Before Powerhoof

Both Barney and Dave had been working in the Australian games industry for about 7 years before starting Powerhoof. They worked closely on and off during that period across multiple studios.

Most recently they both worked at EA's Firemonkeys studios where they worked on titles Flight Control, Sims Free Play, Spy Mouse, Real Racing and Mass Effect Infiltrator.

They then quit all that freemium silliness and started Powerhoof at the beginning of 2013.

Since Then

Since starting Powerhoof, Barney and Dave have released award winning games like Crawl, Regular Human Basketball, The Drifter, plus multitude of smaller free titles and game development tools.
