hi. it's just the two of us.

We make games you want to play.

Gooder Games is a two-person studio with one rule: an idea gets one week to prove it's fun. If it's boring, it goes in the bin.

Things that survived Friday

Two of them launch on Steam this autumn, thirteen days apart. A wishlist is the most useful thing you can give a studio this small. The newest two are out on Steam now.

The one-week rule

How every Gooder game starts. Most of them also end here, and that's fine.

  1. Monday

    We play games to make games

    We don't do "market gap analysis" anymore. We just build the stuff we find fun when we should be sleeping.

  2. Friday

    If it's boring, we bin it

    We give ideas a week. If we aren't having fun playing it by Friday, it goes straight to the trash. Rip.

  3. Week two and on

    We polish the good stuff

    When an idea survives the week, we give it the love it needs. Good mechanics, stupid physics, whatever works.

AutoPrefixer: Standard Asset Naming Utility
We also make tools
