Summary

The company PIRANHA BYTES was founded on the 01.10.1997 by five members previously employed at Greenwood Entertainment Software GmbH. At the moment we consist of 16 individuals and a variety of freelance workers, with whom we have successfully worked with in the past.

The constant improvement in data technology may make the world seem no larger than a village, but progress has it's disadvantages, shown in the constantly rising costs of software development. We want to prove that a smaller software company in the middle of Germany is quite able to produce games to satisfy the expectations of the world wide market.

To reach this goal we believe it is most important to produce games which we want to play ourselves, games, that are fun, games, which every enthusiastic player craves for.
