About the studio
A small team with big, stubborn ideas.
Next Fiction Games is an independent game developer building playful, story-first titles for mobile and desktop. We started in 2020 with a handful of prototypes and a live stream, and we've been shipping — and writing about — games ever since.
Alongside our own projects we publish guides, tool reviews and honest post-mortems for other developers, because most of what we know came from someone generous enough to share it.
How we work
Studio values
The four rules we keep coming back to when a decision gets hard.
Ship, then polish
A playable build teaches us more than a perfect design doc. We iterate in public and fix what players actually feel.
Players first
Every mechanic has to earn its place. If it does not respect the player's time, it does not ship.
Share the process
We publish what we learn — tooling, numbers, mistakes — so the next small studio starts further ahead.
Sustainable pace
No crunch-fuelled launches. Games take the time they take, and the team stays intact for the next one.
