17-Bit is an indie video game developer and the creator of Skulls of the Shogun, Galak-Z: The Dimensional,[1] and Song in the Smoke. The company was founded in 2009 by Jake Kazdal, formerly a Sega Corporation developer, who wants to make games with a 16-bit era aesthetic.[1] It was known as Haunted Temple Studios until it changed its name to 17-Bit in May 2012 with a logo designed by Cory Schmitz.[2] Gamasutra described the team, based in both Kyoto and Seattle,[3] as an example of successful indie cross-platform development for its work on Skulls of the Shogun.[4] GungHo Online Entertainment became 17-Bit's house publisher in October 2014 as the developer worked on Galak-Z.[5][6] Kazdal of 17-Bit was invited to speak on creating studio culture at the 2013 Game Developers Conference.[7]
