First we think, then we calculate and check. Code comes last.

Every version of the balance gets 40 test runs, and for every level we prove that it has a solution.

Cutaway of the studio's house at night: a projection booth in the attic, a sweet shop below it, and a garage with a brick kiln at the bottom.

Lead your studio through a century of cinema, from silent films to streaming.

  1. A cameraman cranks a film camera in a dark workshop.

    Silent era

    Black-and-white, film cameras, stage-trained actors. The audience learns to watch films.

  2. A sound stage: spotlights, a boom microphone, a couple in evening dress.

    Golden age

    Sound and colour, the studio system, genres in full bloom, the biggest stars.

  3. A night queue outside a cinema under the marquee lights.

    Blockbusters

    Big budgets, special effects, multiplexes. Films become events.

  4. A film set: a digital camera and a monitor showing an actress in frame.

    Streaming

    Series, new formats, audiences on phones. Vintage comes back as a style.

A season lasts 28 days and runs through all four eras. At the end, the game evaluates the films, the studio and the player's decisions, then grants legacies that change the rules of the next season. There are 40 of them in eight categories. In the new season the player chooses which ones to bring along: there are four legacy slots.

A film is built step by step: source material, genre, script, casting, technology, channels and marketing. After each choice, the game shows a forecast of quality and box office.

Every studio in a world shares one market: demand, trends, actors and box office.

Sweet Sort

Pre-order is open

Help Iriska the hamster wake up the sweet street! Fill gift boxes with candy and open one shop after another: the bakery, the ice cream café, the pastry shop and a merry fair.

How to play

  1. Tap sweets to fill boxes of assorted treats
  2. Check which boxes come next and don't grab extra
  3. Space is tight, so think one move ahead!

No timer, and no internet needed. You can beat any level on your own, and when it gets tricky the helpers step in: Extra Slot, Tongs and Undo.

For now the game itself is in Russian only.

Iriska. She runs the sweet shop! Her little paw shows you where to start. She cheers for every win and hops along the map to the next level. And if a level doesn't work out, she's sad right along with you.

TechLab

A garage that grows into a plant. Recipes here are reasoned out, not guessed: if you know a brick is moulded before it is fired and tungsten isn't cast, you already know how to play.

Everything up to electricity is free. After that one purchase, no subscriptions. Ads exist only in the free part, and only where you go looking for them.

WINT the helper robot is there wherever you get stuck: the “Ask WINT” button opens the handbook for your stage, with no spoilers.

The mould decides

You dig some clay, fit the press with a brick mould and push. On the bench sits a green brick, and it will never become a vessel: the press sets the shape once. The kiln fires the green brick into a brick.

The same clay in a vessel mould becomes pottery; in an insulator mould, an insulator. One material, one machine, different things.

The press sets the shape: once pressed, a piece can't be reshaped

A fired brick. Tap it and it rings. Now it is stone, and it will never be clay again.

WINT is built from rejects and remembers recipes in bits and pieces.

The workshop stays the same - the automation grows

The machines always stay in the garage, new recipes are discovered only by hand, and construction projects lift your automation to the next stage.

  1. Workshop

    The Boss went out for solder. The garage is yours now

  2. I Robots

    Bottleneck: cycle time and power

  3. II Shops

    Bottleneck: space, tooling and collectors

  4. III Plants

    Bottleneck: power in kilowatts and parts

Foundation

These rules are the same for all our games. We check the math thoroughly.

  1. Design document

    Each game's rules and numbers are written down in its design document. We update the document in the same change as the game, so it matches what you play.

  2. Balance testing

    We test the balance by the rules the player plays by, 40 runs for every version of the numbers. We measure a level's difficulty by its win rate, and it has to fall within the range set for that level.

  3. Every level can be solved

    For every level we go through the possible moves and prove that it has a solution. These checks run on every change to the game.
