ABOUT US
TwistdRabbit Games is an independent game studio founded in January 2026 and based in the west of Scotland. Created by solo developer Will Hamilton, the studio was established with a simple goal: to create games that prioritise creativity, experimentation, and fun while remaining accessible to as many players as possible.
After being made redundant from a AAA studio, Will took time to reflect on the direction of the games industry. It became clear that some of the most exciting ideas in modern gaming were coming from smaller independent teams. With fewer creative restrictions and more freedom to experiment, indie development offers opportunities to explore unique concepts and new gameplay experiences — much like the early days of the industry.
TwistdRabbit Games was founded with that spirit in mind: small scale, creative freedom, and a focus on gameplay that feels fresh and engaging.
While the studio’s first project explores virtual reality, the long-term vision is to develop games across PC and mobile platforms, spanning a wide variety of genres and ideas.
DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
At the heart of TwistdRabbit Games is a simple belief:
Making fun games should never come at the expense of accessibility.
Games should be welcoming spaces that players from all backgrounds and abilities can enjoy. By combining creative experimentation with thoughtful design, TwistdRabbit Games aims to create experiences that are both engaging and inclusive.
The studio draws inspiration from several key ideas:
Games as interactive art
Experimentation with gameplay ideas
Immersive worlds players can explore
Design that remains accessible and inclusive
The goal is always the same: create games that players enjoy discovering and experiencing for themselves.
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS & WORKFLOW
TwistdRabbit Games uses a range of industry-standard tools to develop its projects, including:
Unity – primary game engine
Visual Studio – development environment for C# programming
Blender – 3D modelling and asset creation
Adobe Photoshop – texture and image editing
Adobe Illustrator – graphic design and vector artwork
These tools allow the studio to create gameplay-focused experiences while maintaining a flexible and efficient solo-developer workflow.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Game development is an iterative process, and many ideas begin as early prototypes and experiments before evolving into finished experiences.
Visitors to the site will occasionally see glimpses of development through images such as:
Unity editor screenshots showing gameplay systems in development
Early environment prototypes and art experiments
VR testing setups during development
Concept art and early visual ideas
These behind-the-scenes moments offer a look at how games at TwistdRabbit Games evolve from initial ideas into fully playable experiences.
TEAM
WILL HAMILTON
FOUNDER - TWISTDRABBIT GAMES
Born in the west of Scotland, Will has been passionate about games from an early age. Long before entering the industry professionally, he spent over a decade working alongside it in a variety of roles including games podcasting, news reporting, reviews, and freelance QA testing.
In 2020, during the global Covid-19 pandemic, Will took the opportunity to reassess his career path and pursue his long-standing interest in game development. He enrolled in the Video Games Development course at West College Scotland, later continuing his studies at the University of the West of Scotland, where he graduated in 2024 with a First Class Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Games Development.
His dissertation project, V-Art, was nominated for and shortlisted as a finalist in the TIGA 2024 Best Student Game Awards, and the project also received recognition within the Scottish Parliament.
Following graduation, Will entered the games industry professionally, working as an Associate QA Tester at Build A Rocket Boy, contributing to development on the studio’s flagship title MindsEye. After leaving the studio in mid-2025 due to redundancy, he chose to pursue independent development and founded TwistdRabbit Games.
With a background that combines game development, programming, design, writing, media, and community involvement, Will brings a multidisciplinary perspective to creating games that prioritise creativity and player experience.
