Your favorite game developer, what are they?

I like niche developers who go do their own thing
  • Fushidaratei (mostly does Hentai games but each game is adored with their own gameplay system, he always tries out new things and avoids "typical RPG" battle systems. Developed sims, card battlers, roguelites, etc)
  • Sting Entertainment (some of their titles are childhood defining such as Baroque, Riviera, Gungnir etc, they're notorious for having arbitrary and insanely difficult content unlock requirements that makes sure you are never truly able to 100% their games without a guide)
  • Takamakuran (only does Hentai games, his art is expressive and yet rough, his stories are dangerously foreign as if written by someone who is unfit for this world yet it delivers to make you attached to its characters and world)
  • Nippon Ichi Software (includes NISA for the american branch, their games are always so *quirky* which stands in their way to truly become mainstream. Most people into anime probably have played a Disgaea game or two. I wonder how they can place themselves on the modern marketplace as I don't think they are capable of bringing out big budget titles that brings in big revenue.)
  • AliceSoft (doesn't require an explanation, the AAA powerhouse for hentai games, each Rance game is a delight to play but other projects of theirs also do well)

Honorable mentions:
  • Omega Force (because I am a sucker for Dynasty Warriors)
  • GUST (for their atelier games)
  • Eeny, meeny, miny, moe? (because he popularized the Black Souls viral sensation)
  • Subset Games (they don't have many games out but each game is a gem that I'd probably play until the day I die, it's difficult to put into words but they probably know how to make timeless games)
  • some others I probably forgot but they're guaranteed to have already been mentioned somewhere in this thread
 
First and foremost, Square Enix, since my favorite games come from them (Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, the Final Fantasy franchise, and my darling Nier Automata/Replicant).

Capcom (the Devil May Cry and Resident Evil franchises)

Konami (Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Castlevania franchise, the Metal Gear franchise, and Silent Hills).

Atlus/Sega (Persona and Shin Megami Tensei franchises and the Yakuza franchise).
 
KEMCO //Raging Loop

Spike Chunsoft //Danganronpa

Nitroplus //Steins;Gate

NITRO CHiRAL //DRAMAtical Murder(BL)
 
Atlus, because of persona series
Bioware, beacuse of dragon age series and mass effect series

and Miro Haverinen for fear & hunger series <3
 
I don't pay too much to game developers, but I would have to say that my favorites would probably be Hoyoverse, NPC Studio, Otomate, Design Factory, Cygames etc.
 
Project Moon, their world-building is sublime and they values their players' time more than most studio nowadays.
 
Compile Heart (Hyperdimension Neptunia Series)
Capcom (Megaman X Series)
Inti Creates (Megaman Zero Series)
Square Enix (Nier)
Konami (Metal Gear Series)
From Software (Souls Series)
Sting (Riviera and Yggdra Union)

Eushully (Ikusa Megami Zero)
縁-yukari- (Thief and Sword)
Kurotozakka (Blazing Aries)
