The studio
We make small games that end.
Four titles on iOS and Android, two in production, and a rule that every team owns its game through to its support queue.

01 — What we do
Small games, finished
NanoTeam was founded in [FOUNDING YEAR] in [CITY, COUNTRY]. We build short-session mobile games and we finish them. A Paper Lantern player reaches the end in about two hours; a Ferrograde match is capped at four minutes. Neither of those numbers is an accident, and neither is going to grow after release.
We are [HEADCOUNT] people in teams of four to eleven. A team owns its title end to end: design, build, store submission, patch notes and the support tickets that follow. Nobody hands a game over to a live-ops department, because we do not have one.
The catalogue is deliberately varied. A drift racer, a water puzzle, a base builder about maintenance and a hand-drawn story do not share an audience or an engine configuration. What they share is that each one is legible in motion — you can look at the screen and know what the system is doing.

03How we work
Five things we actually do
Not values on a wall. Each one is a decision you can find in a shipped game.
01
Scope is a design decision
Paper Lantern is fifteen rooms because fifteen was right, not because the budget ran out. We cut systems rather than thin them, and we say in the patch notes when we have.
02
Legible over accurate
Ashfall Drift fakes deformable terrain with a single texture channel. The honest simulation looked better in screenshots and worse in motion, so it is not in the game.
03
Whoever builds it, supports it
Support tickets go to the team that shipped the feature. It is the shortest feedback loop we have, and it is why our release notes are specific.
04
No systems that wait for you
No energy meters, no login streaks, no timers to skip. If a player is not playing, the game should not be charging them attention.
05
Say the number or say nothing
We publish a support response target because we measure it. We do not publish player counts, because we have not agreed on how to count them.
04History
