Open Emotion Studios are an award winning game development company operating out of studios in Limerick and Dublin, Ireland. From humble beginnings, Open Emotion have developed a bunch of flash games, some questionable mobile games and some awesome Playstation Minis. The company was started in Early 2010 by three friends (Paddy Murphy, Mike Naughton and Colm English) who basically, at that time, had no idea what they were doing. Eoghan O Donovan joined the company in late 2010 and has since become an integral part of Open Emotion Studios, managing the Dublin office and leading Game Design on a number of projects. Open Emotion has since grown to 12 employees between both offices. OES work with publishers and developers from all over the world including Sony, Nintendo, Epic Games and many, many more.

They are also working on some other stuff on the side, that they’re just not telling you about @_@

In 2012, Open Emotion formed Team Custard Pug, a subsidiary of Open Emotion, who continue Open Emotion’s original vision of bringing new Intellectual Properties to various smaller platforms like iOS, Android and PSP Minis as well as doing some porting and licensing work.

Rock N’ Roll.
