SFB Games Limited (formerly The Super Flash Bros.) is an independent video game developer based in London, England. The studio was founded in 2002 by brothers Adam William and Thomas Denis "Tom" Vian, and went on to produce Adobe Flash-based games. In May 2012, they incorporated and were renamed SFB Games Limited.
History
The brothers originally made games together starting when they were 17 and 14 respectively, calling themselves "The Super Flash Bros". They began with Flash animation videos, before moving on to Flash games, which they posted to Newgrounds. The duo went on hiatus when Tom attended university. After reforming they and Armor Games entered into a partnership whereby Armor would sponsor all Flash games the brothers created from then on; they ended up making 34 games for the site. On 16 May 2012, the studio changed its name to SFB Games, and incorporated as SFB Games Limited under the United Kingdom company law,[1] where the upcoming release of and Kickstarter campaign for Detective Grimoire served as catalyst for the action. At SFB Games, Adam serves as lead artist, while Tom takes the role of the programmer.[2]
