About Smitner Studio

Smitner Studio is run by Arran, me.. I'm a Kiwi who followed my wife to Germany and live in the Black Forest. It's a good balance, a technical life anchored by a forest a few minutes away.

I've worked as a software engineer my whole career, but I've been building things on computers since I had access to one. After years of game jams and unfinished prototypes, I founded Smitner Studio to finally get them out the door.

I build with Godot. Open-source software is the reason any of this is possible, and I try to contribute tools and knowledge back to the community where I can.
