About Bugbyte Ltd.

Founded in March 2012, Bugbyte Ltd. is a small, highly focused independent game development studio based in Finland.

The company was founded by two brothers, Aksel and Allan. Matti joined the company when it was one year old, and the team has stayed together ever since.

After developing two games with dog characters as a theme and failing financially, the team decided to make a complete shift and start developing premium space strategy games. Bugbyte has been through a few rough patches and was at the brink of bankruptcy right before releasing Battlevoid: Harbinger in late 2015. Harbinger was a first success for the team after developing games for 3 years. Work on Space Haven was originally started March 2016 and the 1.0 version was released ten years later in May 2026. The scope of the game and the complexity of creating a great colony sim took a tremendous amount of time for a small team with one programmer and one graphic artist.

With over 15 years of development experience, our small team has released multiple original titles across PC and mobile platforms, ranging from quick arcade prototypes to deep space colony simulations like Space Haven.

Studio Philosophy

We focus on player freedom, deep systemic mechanics, emergent storytelling, and long-term community feedback.
