History

Streamline Studios was founded in 2001 in Hilversum, Netherlands. The original founder consists of friends, Alexander Fernandez, Stefan Baier, Renier Banninga and Adrian Banninga whose main interest was gaming. Stefan Baier, Adrian Banninga and Renier Banninga met during their stint at Rewolf Software, working on the Half-Life 1 mod called Gunman Chronicles. After Rewolf Software dissolved, Baier and the Banninga brothers moved to the Netherlands, where they formed the company with Alexander Fernandez. The studio was later joined by Hector Fernandez and Dan Flower.[5] In 2005 the company moved to Amsterdam where they operated for a few years.[6]

In 2009, Streamline closed the Amsterdam production facility.[7]
