History[]
Dreadlocks was established in 2011 by a group of students from Czech Technical University in Prague. The idea of forming a studio was based on a game engine created by them for their bachelor work. Their first project was Rune Legend, a mobile game that was released in 2012. The studio then focused on creating a game titled Enlightened, but its development was suspended when the company acquired a team that worked on the video game Dex, which was successfully funded through Kickstarter and released in May 2015. The company later released a statement promising to continue development of Enlightened.[3]
British subsidiary[]
