About the company

40 SOULS is a dark vehicular roguelike built around a deadly tournament of combat vehicles held in honor of the gods. At the core of the game is a hub -> run -> progress loop: combat arenas, between-fight events, choices, bosses, progression, weapons, vehicles, and faction systems. Inside each run, not only the arenas themselves matter, but also pacing, event variety, side objectives, and combat readability.

Spin is a futuristic combat racing game focused on anti-gravity motorcycles, speed, pressure, arcade intensity, and Y2K aesthetics.

Both projects are currently in demo development. At this stage, participation is unpaid. After the demos are completed and investment is secured, we plan to move to a paid production format.

Our team includes around 60 specialists from different countries, including people with AA/AAA experience as well as strong indie developers. Throughout development, we also prepare portfolio case studies together with contributors and publish them jointly.
