Clients.
WE LOVE COOL THINGS.
We thrive on bringing brands to life in fun and entertaining ways. We’ve been fortunate to get paired with some really incredible opportunities over our 10+ years in game development. We push ourselves with each and every project to exceed expectations for our clients, but most importantly for the fans of the brands they’ve created.
“I was continually impressed with their through documentation and ability to keep issues from slipping through the cracks. In my 13+ years in the business I can honestly say they are among the best development partners I’ve have the pleasure to work with.”
Devin Shatsky – Konami Digital
“You guys, it’s PHENOMENAL. The split-screens, the music, the animation… we are BLOWN AWAY.”
Marissa Mansolillo – Hasbro Brand Review, My Little Pony
“We’ve always found successful projects are highly dependent on having the right skill sets involved. Graphite worked with us to find the best people from their team for our project to ensure we were able to achieve the style and gameplay we were after.”
Robin Rath – Pixel Press
Hey! Listen!
We’ve been making games a long time.
The Graphite Lab story is best told over drinks in front of a crackling fire. Without a fire nearby, we’ll have to settle for sharing through this website. For going on 13 years now, the team at Graphite Lab has been developing games. Starting back in 2004, our founder, Matt Raithel joined developer Black Lantern Studios to grow a portfolio of nearly 50 hit titles before expanding to St. Louis and opening Graphite Lab in 2009. Our team experience started with work on the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Wii and XBOX 360 as well as a few hits on the PC.
Recently, we’ve been knocking out hits in the mobile space and console (everything from iPad to Playstation 5) while working on our second original title: Kombinera.
We’ve built our reputation on solid gaming mechanics, feature-quality character animation, flexibility, and know-how. We’ve had the honor of working with Pinkie Pie, Mr. Potato Head, Johnny Tractor and Optimus Prime. Since we’re name dropping, we also have rubbed shoulders with Dora and the Backyardigains too. Over the last few years, we’ve helped solidify great mobile content for Apple, Google and Amazon while building a portfolio of original titles that are critically acclaimed on consoles.
Oh, hey! We found a crackling fire … call us for drinks.
