Formed in 2003 by six games industry veterans, Gusto Games is a 100% independent games developer operating from new offices in a delightful Oxfordshire village in the heart of the English countryside. Although a relatively young studio, the founders of Gusto have a development heritage stretching back many years not only as individuals, but also as a team. Gusto has its own propriety cross-platform technology, Proteus, which has been refined over the past 10 years and proven across many platforms and titles.
