— Core focus

Three pillars of software.

We do not build generic landing pages or fluff. We engineer tools, games, and software platforms built for performance and durability.

Pillar · I

Developer tools & harnesses

Multi-agent harness generators, CLI command decks, and developer tooling. We build tools like Hocus that compile declarative agent personas across Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and Antigravity.

Open-source developer instruments built for modern agentic workflows.
Pillar · II

Interactive games & engines

Custom game engines, high-framerate sprite renderers, and deterministic physics logic. From pixel-art roguelikes to complex simulation logic in Unity, Godot, Unreal, and C++.

Low-latency game architecture designed for feel and precision.
Pillar · III

Software apps & protocols

High-performance desktop applications, binary serialization protocols, and reactive web applications. We focus on zero-bloat architecture, low memory footprints, and fast execution.

Clean codebases built to scale without unnecessary dependencies.
