About MVGIE
A small studio, telling stories that earn the time you spend on them.
MVGIE Studios (pronounced moo-ghee) is an independent game development studio. We make narrative-driven games and write openly about how we do it. Our first title in development is Stand Up, a life sim about an up-and-coming stand-up comedian.
How we work.
01
Stories with weight
We believe games can carry the same emotional gravity as the best novels or films. We make games that mean something to the people who play them.
02
Unconventional shapes
We pick mechanics and structures that fit the story, not the other way round. If a system has been done a thousand times, we ask whether we should do it at all.
03
Open about the craft
We share what we learn — the tools, the missteps, the things nobody warned us about. The industry is hard to break into; we want it to be a little less so.
04
Small and patient
We move at a sustainable pace. Better to make one game we are proud of than three we burned out finishing.
