Xiotex Studios is all about being creative. It’s founder Byron just loves to make games, more than he enjoys playing games – it’s about being creative. Byron worked in the mainstream games industry in the UK and Canada since 1996 before finally starting Xiotex Studios in 2007 to make his own games.

Byron does all the design, code, art, writing, music and SFX for all of his games. Except for Blast Em where the music was done by the amazing Gavin Harrison. Blast Em is also the best selling game of Xiotex Studios - maybe there’s a connection there. Hmmm…

The biggest highlight of Byron’s career to date is working with the amazing actor David Hewlett on the Caretaker series of games. Byron was a huge fan of Stargate where David plays the character Dr Rodney McKay, so having him in his games is a nerds dream come true!
