Four Door Lemon

The company was founded in 2005 by programmers Simon Barratt and Tim Wharton. After developing and launching the Lemon Engine as a middleware program, the team expanded and began development on games for various publishers alongside continued development on the Lemon Engine.

The company's workforce grew in size over time, with its operations encompassing the creation of games for multiple publishers in addition to the development and release of proprietary titles. Ultimately, the company was disbanded in September 2018.{{Cite web |title=FOUR DOOR LEMON LIMITED insolvency - Find and update company information - GOV.UK |url=https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/05413105/insolvency |access-date=2022-07-28 |website=find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk |language=en}}

After years of focusing on middleware and game developments, Four Door Lemon started to develop games to be self-published on various platforms, alongside completing work-for-hire titles for other publishers.{{Cite web|url=http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-03-21-four-door-lemon-from-hired-gun-to-full-indie|title=Four Door Lemon: From Hired Gun to Full Indie|website=GamesIndustry.biz|access-date=2016-06-04}}

Four Door Lemon utilized its own technology for developments. The multi-platform Lemon Engine has been used in all FDL-developed titles, with a version now being used for the PS4 and Xbox One developments.
