History According to Short, the founders never worked together before and knew each other as semi-acquaintances at a local independent developer meetup in Montreal. After forming a studio, the team participated in a game jam in which they created and submitted their jam entry Sculptorgeist, which became a winning finalist. Kitfox Games began development of their first game, Shattered Planet, as a procedural death labyrinth game. Shattered Planet was released on iOS and later Android, Microsoft Windows, and MacOS in 2014.

In March 2019, Kitfox Games partnered with Bay 12 Games to be its publisher for the Steam and itch.io version of Dwarf Fortress. According to a frequently asked questions post, Kitfox Games would manage its relationship with Steam and contractors while Bay 12 Games co-creator Tarn Adams would handle the technical side of the game.

As of 2024, their website lists 14 developers, 12 employees and two of the original co-founders – Tanya X. Short and Xin Ran Liu.
