About Radic Creative

We're Radic Creative - an indie game development studio based in Southampton, UK.

We make games inspired by the charm of retro classics and the warmth of cosy gaming, with a radical twist that makes them feel fresh, fun, and full of character.

What began as a hobby for our founder Brad - combining his background in graphic design with a love of games and pixel art - quickly grew into something much bigger. After launching Dragons Brew on Kickstarter, we were blown away by the response, which gave us the opportunity to go full-time and develop our first official game.

Now, with a growing and supportive community behind us, we’re on a mission to create feel-good games that blend nostalgia with fresh ideas.
