STUDIO / 01
PrettyNerdee makes compact games with big reactions: rules that collide, worlds that answer back and decisions you feel a second too late.
Start with the bit your hands understand. Play it too early. Break it. Keep whatever makes the room go quiet, then build outward from there.
02 / THE STORY SO FAR

03 / HOUSE RULES
How we keep the strange bits alive.
Pinned above the desk.
Rule 01Prove the loopGet the central action into the player's hands before building around it.Rule 02Keep scope attachedEvery added system should strengthen the mechanic that made the project worth starting.Rule 03Finish and releaseSmall, public software teaches more than a large promise hidden in a folder.Rule 04Use tools pragmaticallyChoose the engine and workflow that serve the game, then keep the result readable.↖ the rules are older than any of the games. the games keep testing them.
Made in Edinburgh by Clayton Forde.
Follow the odd idea until it becomes something you can play.
