Based in Hammersmith in London, Payload Studios is the award winning developer behind TerraTech – the ultimate exploration and combat game, set on the off world. TerraTech started life in 2012, and the Payload team started to assemble in late 2013 before successfully surpassing a £35,000 funding round on Kickstarter in summer 2014. Now enjoying life on Steam Early Access, the game – described by The Guardian as ‘the next Minecraft’ – charges players with creating their own vehicles out of a host of different building blocks both to harvest whatever resources they can find from recently discovered exo-planet and to take down rival Techs also out to sap up the world's resources.
