Our Story

Born from a love of
rubber keys and
loading screens

It started with a ZX Spectrum. That unmistakable border-striped loading screen, the hum of a tape deck, and the magic of seeing pixels come alive for the very first time. That moment — when a few kilobytes of code created entire worlds — never left us.

eightbit.studio is a team of developers who share a passion for the golden era of 8-bit computing. We grew up with Sinclair, Atari, and Commodore. We typed in BASIC listings from magazines. We knew the value of every single byte.

Today we channel that same resourcefulness and creativity into modern software — iOS games, mobile applications, and consulting for teams who want to build things that matter. Different tools, same philosophy: make every pixel count.

The Team

Built by humans,
inspired by machines

We're a small, distributed team of developers, designers, and lifelong gamers. Some of us typed our first line of code on a rubber-keyed Spectrum. Others discovered the magic through emulators and retro culture. What unites us is a belief that software should be crafted — with the same care and constraints that made 48K games legendary.

We don't do bloat. We don't do filler. We build things we'd want to use ourselves, and we obsess over the details that most people never notice — but always feel.

"Every pixel counts. Every byte matters."
