The team
Small studio. Serious pedigree.
Three founders, decades in games and the craft around them, and a shared habit of bringing people up alongside us. We’re small on purpose — small enough to care about every decision, and to know everyone’s name.
The founders
Who we are
Robert Skinner
Technical Lead · Studio Head
Twelve years training developers, ten leading teams. A 3D and technical artist and programmer (C++, C#, Python) who has mentored people now shipping at PlayStation, Gearbox, Frontier and Unity.
Caz Skinner
Art Director
Twenty years of commercial illustration for the likes of M&S and Hallmark, and fifteen leading art education teams. Defines the studio’s visual identity and holds the bar for craft.
Nikolaos Kalarakis
Creative Director
Fifteen years of narrative design and community-building in the Warhammer ecosystem. A philosophy background, a systems mind, and a community-first approach to everything we make.
Mentors & network
We don’t do it alone
Around the three of us sits a network built over careers in games and games education — experienced developers, artists and designers who advise, mentor and lend a hand. It’s how a small studio punches above its size, and how we keep opening doors for the people coming up behind us.
We’ll introduce them properly here as the studio grows. For now, know that the people teaching the next generation through Raging Bear are people who’ve shipped real games and trained real teams.
