Dreadlocks Ltd is a video game developer based in Prague, Czech Republic. The company's first game, Rune Legend, was the winner of 5th AppParade.[3] The company was officially formed in 2011. The Company's most recent Release is Dex, an action role-playing game.[1]

History

Dreadlocks was established in 2011 by a Group of Students from Czech Technical University in Prague. The idea of forming a Studio was based on a Game engine created by them for their Bachelor work. Their first project was "Rune Legend", a mobile game that was released in 2012. The Studio then focused on creating a game titled "Enlightened", but its development was suspended when the Company acquired a team that worked on the video game "Dex", which was successfully funded through Kickstarter and released in May 2015. The company later released a statement promising to continue development of Enlightened.[4]

British subsidiary

The company also has a United Kingdom subsidiary which is based in Northampton that serves as help with legal issues and an earlier availability of certain technologies or services to British developers. An example is a Kickstarter campaign for Dex.[5][6]
