The founders lead every project we take on.
You bring the idea. We bring the plan, the team and the finish line. Arcade and location-based games on specialised hardware, AR and VR, 3D and full mobile games, led by the founders from first brief to delivery.
What we build
AR and VR games
Games you step into, for headsets, arcades and location-based venues. We build them from the first playable to the finished build, and supply the hardware they run on.
- Real places, rebuilt in 3D
- Custom hardware, supplied with the game
- Frame rate held steady in the headset
3D art and animation
Characters, environments, props and UI art, built to run on the device it is going to ship on.
Mobile game development
Full builds in Unity for iOS and Android: gameplay, backend, store submission, live updates.
SDKs and integrations
Small, focused packages your team can drop into an existing app or game: SDKs, plugins and tools, documented so your developers can take them from there.
Work
Fishing of Legends
A VR arcade fishing game. Put the headset on, pick up the rod, and you are fishing a real river in South Korea.
You hold a real rod and reel, and we provide that hardware as well as the game. Inside the headset you choose your rod, reel and bait, cast, and fight what takes it: bass, eel, catfish, Korean piscivorous chub and more.
The game is planned around 12 real fishing locations across Korea. The first phase, the Hantan River, is built and delivered. The next phase is the other 11.
We were brought in to lead. We planned the build, coordinated the client and the delivery team, and saw it through to delivery.

How we work
A few projects at a time
We take on a few projects at a time and put the founders on every one.
Your team, extended
We slot in where you need us: strategy, production, coordination or the whole build. We plan the work, bring in the right specialists and run it in short cycles with a build you can play at the end of each one. You own everything we make together; we make sure it ships.
Who you work with
No account managers between you and the people running your project. Ayaan Agnihotri and Amaan Karachiwala, the co-founders, lead every engagement, and we build a team of specialists around what each project needs.
