Digital Eel is a self-funded independent video game development team located in the Seattle, Washington area.

The group was formed in 2001 by Rich Carlson (level design at Ion Storm and Looking Glass Studios), Iikka Keränen (level design at Looking Glass Studios and Valve) and Bill "Phosphorus" Sears (digital artist at KnowWonder and GameHouse).

[1] In April 2013, Digital Eel announced plans for the third installment of the Infinite Space series, Infinite Space III: Sea of Stars, and turned to Kickstarter.com to crowdfund the project.

[3] On June 21, 2024, a retrospective soundtrack compilation album, The Weird Musical World of Digital Eel, was officially released on Bandcamp.

Strange Adventures and Weird Worlds pioneered the roguelite subgenre, inspiring later efforts like FTL: Faster Than Light.
