WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Our games are developed by 1-2 game designers and take less than 9 months to go from initial prototyping to launch. Traditionally this takes teams of 20+ to build similar games in 18 months. From there the iteration process begins. With guidance from our production team, our games typically reach millions of players. This is all possible thanks to our powerful game editing tools, built for rapid iteration of games of nearly all genres.
WHY WORK WITH US
We believe the best games are made by empowered, capable game designers. That’s why our game design teams have complete ownership over creative direction and development processes. Beyond this high level of autonomy, we offer:
Mentorship on how to build games that can reach massive numbers of players fast. Typically, our games reach over 1 million players organically within one year post launch
A creative culture designed to foster learning and growth throughout our design team with regular workshops, game deconstructions, and group playtest/feedback session
Support from our world class engineering team so you can focus more on creating a great game and worry less about networking solutions and performance optimization
Work with our veteran artists to help create different art concepts and styles for our games; access to thousands of production-ready assets that can be used for rapid prototyping
