    I was attempting to write a journal and I realized I’m not sure about this grammar point.

    The sentence I wanted to write was
    “Transistor is a game by Supergiant Games.”

    Does anyone mind running through how to form sentences similar to this? Much appreciated.

    Flipping through the grammar dictionary has suggested によって. You’ll also need a passive verb (since the main clause is “the game was made by the company”). Sooo…

    トランシスターはスーパージャイアントゲームズによって作られたゲームです。

    Basically “Transistor is a was-made-by-Supergiant-Games game.” If you want me to expand on anything, just ask. =)

    I think you could also say:
    トランシスター　は　スーパージャイアントゲームズ　(が/の)　作った　ゲーム　です。

    Or:
    トランシスター　は　スーパージャイアントゲームズ　の　ゲーム　です。

    Aye, both of those sentences had crossed my mind as well. Not sure why I didn’t write them down. =P
