About Centaurus Software
Centaurus Software was founded in 2025 by four friends who share a love of creativity, storytelling, and games.
They completed many projects together at university and became known among their peers as a powerhouse team. Each founder brings expertise across multiple disciplines, ranging from narrative design to programming, art and animation.
​
Their debut title, Erebus-9, began as a project for their final year at university and has since grown into a full-fledged game in active development. Erebus-9 was developed further during Tranzfuser 2025 and was proudly showcased at Protoplay 2025 in Dundee, marking an exciting milestone in Centaurus Software's journey.
​​
Since Tranzfuser, the studio has continued to grow, driven by a clear goal to make their mark as a UK indie game dev team. At the heart of Centaurus Software is a deep respect for the games that inspired them and an enduring passion for creating new experiences that blend nostalgia with fresh, modern innovation.
Our Values
Player Experience Comes First
We value our community’s feedback and support, placing our players’ voices at the heart of everything we do. Our players shape who we are. We aim to bring something new with every game we make as we build new worlds and experiences.
Inclusivity
We believe games are better when everyone feels included. We celebrate differences, stay open to new perspectives, and make sure everyone feels welcome and heard.
Transparency
We like to keep things open and real. We share our plans, post frequent updates, and talk honestly about how things are going. Our community’s part of the journey, so we love chatting, sharing roadmaps, and building it all together.
Our Mission
We started this studio because we grew up loving the classics and the games that stuck with us long after we turned off the console. Our mission is to bring that same spirit forward, paying homage to old-school games while giving them a fresh twist for today’s players. We want to capture what made those experiences magical, but with modern gameplay, style, and storytelling that feel right at home now.
​
Our first project, Erebus-9, is just the beginning. We’ve got big ideas across all kinds of genres, from fast-paced adventures to cozy stories and everything in between. We’re here to make games that feel familiar but new;
a little nostalgic, a little surprising, and a whole lot of fun.
