Dundee studio behind Pine Hearts and Big Crown: Showdown, combining work-for-hire expertise with an expanding catalogue of original IP.
About
Founded in Dundee in 2014 by Stuart Martin and Rob Madden — both Abertay University alumni — Hyper Luminal Games has grown from a bootstrapped start-up into one of Scotland's largest independent game development studios, with a team of around 80 developers. The studio built its foundation on work-for-hire projects, using the revenue and skills gained to invest in original intellectual property. That strategy produced titles including the party game Big Crown: Showdown (2018) and the cosy narrative adventure Pine Hearts (2024), with further original IP in development.
