Canalside Studios is a games company within the University of Huddersfield. The studio is permanently manned by a core team of 8 placement students.[1] Plans are in place for full-time students studying games oriented courses to contribute content through projects to get their name in the credits.

History

It was founded in 2006[2] to aid the professional development of computer games students, within the industry.

In 2007 Canalside Studios achieved second place in the Microsoft Microsoft XNA Dream Build Play competition with Yo-Ho Kablammo.[3]

The game was released on 12 September 2009 on Xbox Live Arcade and received excellent reviews within the arcade community

Subsequent to Yo-Ho Kablammo, Canalside Studios has released a B movie themed shooter called Missing Reel for Xbox Live Indie Games.[4][5]

Canalside Studios is currently contracted by the Royal Armouries to produce educational games for display at their museum in Leeds and has also developed two games for display at the Frazier History Museum, Kentucky.[6][7]
