Real-time graphics
Rendering, shaders, and performance work for interactive applications. We help teams ship games, tools, and visualisations that need to run fast without looking it.
A software house. Headquartered in a bus shelter, running on prayer, and we haven't shaved in a fortnight. Come back when we've eaten.
A small independent studio working on the parts of interactive projects that tend to get described as “not quite a feature but somebody has to do it” — rendering, content systems, and the plumbing in between.
Services
Three areas of work, often overlapping. Most engagements start in one and end up touching at least one of the others.
Procedural content
Generators and tooling that produce assets at scale. Less hand-placing, more systems that do the work for you — and that you can trust to behave when the source data changes.
Pipelines & tooling
The infrastructure that connects content, tools, and teams. Build steps, import paths, and the small daily things that quietly determine how fast a studio actually moves.
Approach
How we work, and the things we tend not to compromise on.
Small by design
Independent and deliberately small. The people you talk to are the people doing the work — no handoffs, no account managers, no telephone game between brief and result.
Built to be handed over
Tools and pipelines should outlive the engagement. We document, we keep dependencies honest, and we make sure the team that inherits the work can actually maintain it.
Comfortable with the unglamorous
A lot of what makes a studio fast isn't the demo — it's the import script that used to take an hour, the build that used to fail on Fridays, the pipeline nobody wanted to touch. We like that work.
