We are Dirty Paws Studio, a small and independent video game developer located in Klagenfurt, Austria. Our focus is on video games and creating gamified experiences, but our interest lies in all types of interactive media.

Our current main project is Electric Alps, a 2D puzzle game about wiring up houses in a remote Austrian village. Besides that, we are working on several cooperative projects focusing on serious games and gamification.

We offer our services as a studio for developing games, interactive media and gamified experiences, as well as consulting and workshops on game design, game development and gamification.

Whether you are a fellow developer, enthusiast or interested in collaborating with us, feel free to reach out to us. We are interested in exciting projects and collaborations. Send us a message to contact@dirtypaws.studio or connect with us on social media.
