Wee Man Studios is an independent mobile game development studios based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Formed in 2008 to bring high quality, innovative and fun 3D games to the mobile and handheld market.
Games are developed on our own games engine. This gives us greater creative freedom, faster games and the ability to port to other platforms. Our first title, formerly known as 'Galactic Racer' received great previews and secured interest from all the major games publishers.
John Owens (CEO) and Liam McGarry co-founded Wee Man Studios with the aim of bringing original and exciting story based content to gamers. Peter McGroarty became the first recruit in October 2008. Initially finance was provided by the Directors, with match funding subsequently secured from NI Screen, Invest NI and the Arts Council. More recently private investors have also come on board.
Wee Man Studios is supported by a strong international ‘Board of Advisors’ including David Kirk, Malcolm Barclay, Norbert Sagnard and Chris Thomas. Local professional advisors Angela Reavey (BDO Stoy Hayward), Adrian O Connell (Tughans), Joanne Stuart (Institute of Directors) and Dr. Edward O’Reilly (PatentNav) provide support through our ‘Friends of Wee Man Studios’ scheme.
