Big Fat Alien is an independent videogame company founded in 2009 and registered in beautiful British Columbia. We are busy developing our first title which will be released on PC, Mac and Linux.

We have a simple philosophy for game development and design:

  1. Gameplay trumps everything. Story and graphics, while important, will always be second class citizens here.
  2. The player’s time is important. That means no filler content and no grinding away hours to level-up.
  3. The player is smart AND coordinated. Our games are designed to tickle both sides of your brain.

You may be wondering, is there REALLY a Big Fat Alien making games here? The answer is… maybe. But that’s a stupid question and I doubt you were actually wondering it (see philosophy #3).

The truth is, I’m a human person named Kiaran Ritchie and Big Fat Alien is my game company. I’m a veteran game developer and animation programmer with professional experience at Lucasfilm Animation, Bioware Corp and Factor 5. Together with my wife Jasmine, we are working round the clock (~1200hrs a day*) to create a game that is so amazing, it will literally make your eyes melt into their sockets**. Now that’s something no other studio will claim.

Your favorite game developer,
