RocketWerkz is an ambitious PC video games studio based on Auckland’s waterfront in New Zealand. Founded by Dean Hall, creator of hit survival games DayZ and Icarus, we are independently-run but have the backing of one of the world's largest games companies. We’ve created our own proprietary game development framework called BRUTAL, focusing on scale and performance rather than ease-of-use. Kitten Space Agency is the first game built and published using it.
