About Pixel Crown Games
"We are a very small team located in the northern hemisphere of a small blue marble."
(And by "we," we mean "me." But it's the Royal We. This is a kingdom, after all.)
Who We Are
The crown behind Pixel Crown is worn by a veteran game designer with decades of experience at some of the biggest studios, working on some of the biggest titles. From ARPGs to RPG shooters — you'd likely recognize the names.
But after years of games that take five-plus years to make and hundreds of hours to play, something had to give. It was time to return to the roots. Old-school arcade games. Simple concepts. Modern polish. Games you can actually finish.
Why We Do This
We're exhausted by the subscription mentality. Everything monetized. Everything designed to maximize your time and attention. Every game demanding to be your whole life, leaving no room for anything else.
Games were supposed to be fun. Something to enjoy for a little while. Something you play before going out with friends — not something that replaces having friends.
We want to bring that back.
The Pixel Crown Philosophy
Games used to spark imagination. They dropped you into a situation — no lengthy explanations, no hours of cutscenes — and let you fill in the blanks. They respected your time. You could play for twenty minutes and come back when you had time. Or you and your friends could finish it in a weekend and walk away satisfied. Somewhere along the way, games forgot this. They became endless, demanding, exhausting. We're here to remember what they used to be: fun you can actually finish. That's what the crown means. Your time matters. You're royalty here.
No subscriptions. No ads. No battle passes. No seasons. No fear of missing out.
Just games. Full stop.
The Team (Such As It Is)
Right now, "the team" is the "Royal We" — one person doing everything: design, code, website, marketing, probably the coffee runs too.
But we like to think of our players as part of the kingdom. Without you, what's the point of any of this?
Over time, assuming our generous backers make it possible, we'd love to grow. Bring on artists. Musicians. Fellow travelers who believe games can be better.
For now, it's just us. The Royal We. One crown, many hats.
