Straandlooper is an animation studio and video game developer based in Donaghadee, Northern Ireland. The studio was founded in January 2008 by Richard Morss, Alastair McIlwain and Tim Bryans.[2] They developed the episodic video game for iPhone, Software:Hector: Badge of Carnage, which is based on their character Hector: Fat Arse of the Law. Straandlooper is notable for being Northern Ireland's first animation studio to produce a television series for the international market.[3] As a video game developer, they are notable for being the first company where Telltale Games took on a publishing role, rather than a directing role.[4] Telltale funded the development of the final two episodes of Hector: Badge of Carnage and published all three episodes on additional platforms, in addition to iOS.[5]
