About Us

A small team with big ambition. Making games since 2016, with a growing portfolio of games to try. Come, say hi, and learn more about us!

Hello! We are the ToastieLabs team

Starting with Rob working by himself in 2016, we took ToastieLabs full-time in a post-pandemic 2020 world.

Since then, our mission has been to be your friendly neighbourhood game development team.

We want to be as much as of an open book as possible, which is why we started a weekly devlog series. Running for years now, you can see all of our successes and mistakes as we made them. From game convention trips, to burst pipes; its all there.

- Stay Toastie Everyone <3

Rob Small

Director & Lead Game Developer

I just want to make games for a living. We are lucky enough to have found a community that allows us to follow that dream.

Lee Fowles

Chief Game Designer & Community Director

When I decided to help Rob set up ToastieLabs full-time, I did it for my love of Games and Game Design! I still love every moment, but I do miss my full head of hair.

They feed me Dominoes most months so they keep me happy.

Our Network

We are proud members of Game Republic! This team champions games development for the UK with events, showcases, trade missions, and Industry insights.

Being based in the North East, we usually have trouble attending events, but Game Republic frequently hosts at locations where we can easily attend.

If you are a game developer yourself, make sure to check them out!

Game Republic

The Lab

We are proudly based in the North East with a great Gateshead office. We have one of the highest Greggs-to-population ratios in the country. Not sure if we should be proud of that, but we are!

Our office has a public-facing side; while the Dev Team will probably be busy making games, you can always stop by to browse our shop and selection of activities. For more, check out our Games Corner site!
