Games · Our Debut Title

Waltz of the Wastes

Our first game is a 2D, hand-drawn platformer where the controller is whatever you've already got lying around. A guitar, piano, tin whistle, or even your own voice can become the way you play.

Built from our love of animation, music and games, Waltz of the Wastes is where those disciplines collide.

What We Do

More than one kind of story.

We work across animation, games, art, music and technology — bringing different disciplines together to build worlds worth stepping into.

Animation & Art

Hand-drawn animation, character design, illustration and world-building. We love the imperfections, personality and craft that come from drawing things frame by frame.

Game Design

Mechanics, levels and interactive experiences built around a simple question: does this feel good, interesting and memorable?

Music & Audio

Original music, sound design, foley and experimental audio systems that help our animated and interactive worlds feel alive.

Technology & Tools

The code and technical experimentation that connects everything together, from game systems to custom tools and our in-house instrument input engine.

Animation & Film

Stories don't always need a controller.

Alongside our games, we create hand-drawn animation, character work and short-form films. Animation is at the heart of how we build worlds and tell stories.

The Foxes Behind The Work

Small den, big ideas.

Fox Tooth Studios is a four-person animation and indie game studio based in Cork, Ireland. We come from a background in animation, but our interests stretch far beyond one medium.

We make hand-drawn animation, games and interactive experiences, combining storytelling, illustration, music and technology to create worlds with their own personality.

Sometimes that means a short animation. Sometimes it means a game. Sometimes it means experimenting with an idea that doesn't quite fit into either. Whatever we're making, we're interested in doing things a little differently.
