Uppercut Games is an independent video game development studio based in Canberra, Australia. It was founded in 2011 by Andrew James (Art Director), Ryan Lancaster (Tech Director) and Ed Orman (Design Director), when the trio decided to leave their AAA studio background and forge their own path as independent developers. In 2012, Uppercut expanded to include John Travers and Evan Zachariadis, with Ben Driehuis joining in 2014.
