Who We Are

CheddaTech Ltd is a UK-based gaming technology studio with two product brands: CheddaBoards builds open infrastructure tools for indie developers, and CheddaGames creates retro arcade experiences that prove our tech works in production. We also publish The Standard, a newsletter on building in public.

CheddaGames

Retro arcade games built on CheddaBoards. Every game battle-tests our infrastructure before we ship it to developers. If it works for us, it'll work for you.

Game Studio Lab
