Located in Leamington Spa, United Kingdom, DemonStudios Ltd was founded by James Shaughnessy. Having over 10 years experience working at Codemasters on AAA titles such as Pro Race Driver and Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, James left to pursue his dream of being an independent game developer with full creative control over the games produced. With many ideas in development, two titles to date have been released: An iOS-exclusive turn-based online war game called Lead Wars, and recently an updated remake of his first ever game, Gravitation, created on the Net Yaroze and published on the Official PlayStation Magazine cover disc in Europe in 1998, now on multiple mobile and desktop platforms, called Super Grav.
