Digital Eel is a self-funded independent video game development team located in the Seattle, Washington area. Digital Eel is best known for its Infinite Space series of space roguelikes.
The group was formed in 2001 by Rich Carlson (Ion Storm, Looking Glass Studios), Iikka Keränen (Looking Glass Studios, Valve Corporation) and Bill "Phosphorus" Sears (KnowWonder, GameHouse).
In April 2013, the company announced plans for the next installment of Infinite Space and turned to Kickstarter.com to crowdfund the project. Funding was successful.
Digital Eel is best known for its Infinite Space series of space roguelikes, Strange Adventures in Infinite Space (2002) and Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space (2005). Strange Adventures and Weird Worlds pioneered the space roguelike subgenre, inspiring later efforts like FTL: Faster Than Light.
