We Publish Small, Stylish, Shareable Games
Our publishing program launches in 2026. We combine hands-on Unreal expertise with lean go-to-market to help indies ship across PC & console — fast, tidy, and affordable.
Idea-first. Weird & wonderful welcome.What makes us different
We don’t treat Steam wishlists or followers as the only predictor of success. They’re useful, but they come after the spark. We evaluate the idea itself — is it surprising, gif-able, and delightful to share? Does the core loop sing within 30–60 seconds? Can we ship it beautifully within a sane scope?
- Idea-first greenlight: novelty, clarity of loop, shareability, and feasibility.
- Prototype feel over vanity graphs: fun you can feel beats charts you can print.
- Weird is welcome: cozy, quirky, or just plain odd — if it’s charming, we’re in.
- Then we help you grow wishlists with smart creator beats and store craft.

| Ports | Afterthought | Weakest-platform-first from the start |
