Marks left with care.

Precision that leaves a trace.

Windmark Games is an independent studio making precise strategy and simulation games. We are one person, with the care of a much larger team. Our first game is Podium: Racing Team Manager.

01 · The studio

One studio. One person. Work done with care.

Windmark Games makes strategy and simulation games with clear systems and no tricks. The studio is one person. When the work needs a specialist, we hire one and say so.

We make fewer games and finish them properly. Podium is the first, and the Journal shows how it is made.

Team: One person. Specialists hired for named pieces of work.
First game: Podium: Racing Team Manager. iOS, Android, Mac and PC, early 2027.
Working on: Strategy and simulation games.

02 · Principles

How we work.

Four traits from the brand strategy. Each one comes with a line we can be held to.

Precise
Exact numbers. Patch notes say what changed and by how much.
Seen in: the Podium race replay
Crafted
Fewer games, finished properly. A few things done with care, not a long feature list.
Seen in: the three tiers and 45 circuits
Direct
We say what we do not do. Podium is not licensed, not pay-to-win and not built to waste your time.
Seen in: the Podium section and the press facts
