Small team
Long haul
We've always been a small, hands-on studio, with a dedicated core team that's been working together since the early days of Survive the Nights.
From programming and art to design, production, and community management, we take care of it all ourselves.

Our vision
YEARS IN THE MAKING
Our experience has been built through years of development, challenges, milestones, and lessons learned along the way. We're carrying that experience into what's next.
We create and publish our own original games.
Independence gives us the freedom to develop on our own terms, follow our ideas, take creative risks, and explore new directions without being tied to a single formula.
For us, it's about making games we believe in, the kinds of games we'd want to play. Our goal is to create experiences that are fun, memorable, and worth returning to.
ALONG FOR THE RIDE
Game development has been quite a journey, and the players who've shared their thoughts, ideas, and experiences have helped shape what we've built over the years. Listening to our community remains an important part of how we work.
MORE TO THE STORY
After years spent bringing one world to life, we're beginning to imagine another. The world we've built is still growing, and a new chapter of our story has begun.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Every studio has a beginning, and ours started with two gamers on opposite sides of the Atlantic who first crossed paths playing GTA IV on Xbox Live. What began as a friendship and a shared love of games eventually sparked the idea of creating a game of our own.
THE ROOTS OF A2Z
Before there was a game studio, there was Minecraft a2z. Our Minecraft server, website, and YouTube channel brought together a growing community and creative projects that helped fund our earliest Survive the Nights concepts. Minecraft a2z would eventually inspire our studio's name.
A STUDIO TAKES SHAPE
Survive the Nights reaches #1 on Steam Greenlight in just five days, followed by a successful Kickstarter campaign that raises more than nine times its funding goal. With growing support and the opportunity to pursue game development full-time, a2z Interactive begins taking shape as a studio.
HELLO, WORLD!
Survive the Nights enters Steam Early Access in 2017 with a limited pre-alpha release, allowing early supporters to experience and help shape the game. In 2019, the public alpha launches, making the game fully discoverable on Steam.
A MAJOR MILESTONE
After years of development, challenges, and community feedback, Survive the Nights officially reaches version 1.0. For our small independent team, it's a major achievement and a defining moment in our history.
THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
With Survive the Nights continuing to grow beyond version 1.0, we've begun work on our next game. Two games, one independent studio, and plenty more to build.
