| We’re a small but diverse indie studio based in Manchester, with a vision to mash evergreen gameplay like chess with unique modern genres. Our team has already proved strong and passionate while collaborating on projects during university and are creating content-rich, replayable titles built off a community of players. With our current project Chess Rancher already winning Game Republic’s 2025 Best Game Design, we are excited to release our next product for you! |
About the project
Chess Rancher is a farming dungeon crawler mashed with strategic chess battles, all wrapped up in a low-poly style. Jump into a lively farm where you guide your animals to fish, mine, and harvest crops. Then battle through high-steak battles where losing your chess piece means saying goodbye to your animal!

As soon as we heard about Tranzfuser, we knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to kickstart our passion for games and evolve our indie team into a full-blown studio. The ability to support not just us, but many passionate members of the industry within our community cannot be overstated, and this opportunity Tranzfuser has granted us has turned this summer and beyond into one to remember!
