Who we are
Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, the three-person studio makes deeply tactical and replayable games, like the kind the team loves to play in their spare time (and occasionally during work hours).

About Guidelight Games
Guidelight Games was founded in 2020 by artist Tim Skafte and game developer Thorbjørn Nielsen, since then the company has grown dramatically by 50% and today consists of 3 (!) fulltime developers. The studio made its debut with SpellRogue in 2025, and are now working on a second game.
At Guidelight, we believe the best way to create deep, engaging experiences is to involve the community early in an open development process. It is an approach we put into practice with SpellRogue, which went through more than 50 incremental public playtests (discord) before launching into Early Access in February 2024, followed by its 1.0 release on April 24, 2025.
