Inside the Essex Road studio — a 2 minute look at how we prototype.

Cirelunok took our vertical slice and turned it into a Switch launch in seven months. Their optical art direction became the thing reviewers wrote about.
Priya M.
Studio Head, Manchester · Mar 2024
We handed them a messy Unity build and they delivered a locked 60fps PS5 port through certification with zero drama. Rare team.
Daniel O.
Producer, Brighton · Nov 2023
As a solo dev I could never have prototyped this alone. Six weeks later I had a slice that landed my funding round.

Frequently asked questions

We are engine-agnostic but ship most projects in Unreal Engine 5 or Unity. We regularly release on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android and Meta Quest. If your title needs a bespoke tech stack, we scope it during discovery.

Yes. Roughly half our slate is our own IP and half is co-development for studios and publishers. We are comfortable working under NDA and can white-label our contribution so the credit sits entirely with your brand.

Prototypes and vertical slices are fixed-price so you know the number up front. Full productions and co-dev run on monthly team rates with clear milestones. You always get a detailed scope and payment schedule before we start.

Absolutely. We handle first-party certification for PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo, plus store setup, age ratings and launch builds. We have cleared more than forty submissions, so we know where the common blockers hide.

Our studio is on Essex Road in Islington, North London, and the core team works from there. We collaborate with distributed contractors and are happy to run remote-friendly milestones for international partners.
