Description

We are Buckfish, a newly founded team of four experienced game developers based in Hamburg, united by a passion for creating innovative and engaging gaming experiences. We came together during our master’s studies at HAW Hamburg, and since then we’ve been creating small games. In 2025, we officially established Buckfish as a company, and now we’re excited to be working on our newest project Unbreachable.

History

We started as a student group in the Games Master at HAW Hamburg. The main goal in this studies was to develop a prototype for round about 15 months. Our prototype called Betrail is a first-person social deduction multiplayer game for 4-6 players. There is a traitor among passengers riding a train. The innocents' goal is to reach the destination and extract their goods. The traitor tries to prevent this by bribing and manipulating the passengers. This project - made in Unreal Engine 5 - was challenging but interesting. We’ve gained invaluable experience and proven that we’re a team capable of producing high-quality games. 

Another noticable game is Amazing Monk. As a short-term project we learned to reduce a scope and made a small juicy game. After 2 month of production we launched on Newgrounds and got a lot of positive feedback. 

After the completion of Betrail as prototye, we sought a new challenge. That's when Unbreachable was born. We’re now using this project as the foundation to launch Buckfish, and establish our name in the games industry.
