Our Story
We're not just game designers, engineers, and artists who make games... we live and breathe games, with dozens of years of experience creating hits at some of the top game development studios, including Digital Chocolate, Telltale Games, Social Games Network, iWin, and EA.
We love projects big and small - as long as they're challenging.
What Sets Us Apart
It starts with an idea
We can help you turn a concept into a design document into UI wireframe then into a fully playable demo or "minimal lovable product."
Play! Test! Observe! Iterate!
We push to deliver a playable game demo as quickly as possible, so everyone on the team can experience it. We then observe real members of the target audience as they play and refine the user experience ux or game balance as needed.
Games as service
After your app is released, we can build out admin tools that are web-based and also provide integrated analytics to help grow and optimize your game, understand the play patterns, as well as handle updates or run special events.
