ABOUT
We are Black Pants Studio!
Black Pants Studio is an independent game developer working from Berlin. We are a team of one programmer, one animator and one comic artist. We are passionate about games with new and innovative mechanics, a handcrafted feeling, and a one-of-a-kind look. We are always open for commissions and work with a huge pool of friends and partners.
Our own Scape Engine is used to develop desktop and console games such as Tiny & Big and On Rusty Trails. Built from scratch, it has been constantly improved since 2002.
Black Pants is an officially licensed developer for Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
Tobias Bilgeri is responsible for the creation of the characters and worlds featured in games like About Love, Hate and the Other Ones and Blown Away. He is passionate about developing new looks and settings which fit into the game mechanics and story worlds of our games.
Johannes Spohr is the main developer of the Scape Engine. He is very slow at writing fast code. Also cares about release quality, gives very polite tech support, and keeps an eye out for co-workers skimping on commit messages - lazy youngsters!
Sebastian Stamm is a Comic Artist and Illustrator. At Black Pants, he draws, creates the characters, is responsible for everything 2D, contributes his visual style to the games.
The Scape Engine. A stable foundation to give our games that tailor-made feeling. Doing it all by ourselves means we can tweak every nut and bolt that is important to the final experience. We like it nutty, we like it bolty - it’s how we roll…ty.
