About us

The best games are forged in the crucible of player feedback.

The Starform Vision

Starform was founded in 2018 with the goal of doing product development in lockstep with our players. Our team has played key roles in launching games played by hundreds of millions of players. We've also skinned our knees a few times along the way. Starform is our vision for putting all these lessons together to build amazing products and make the best place to build games.

How We Work

We build amazing entertainment by assembling small teams of talented game developers, where each team is fully autonomous and provided with the tools, infrastructure, and support to design and build their games in partnership with players.

We are fearless pioneers. Join us and bring bold ideas to life!

Go FTW!

We set ambitious goals and pursue them with unwavering determination and passion. We embrace the unknown, recognizing that true success often lies beyond the boundaries of our current knowledge and experience. We expect our team members to ask questions, leverage mentors, and proactively seek out metrics and player feedback to inform their decision-making. Most of our decisions are reversible, allowing us to take risks, learn from our experiences, and grow as a company. We believe that always playing it safe stifles innovation and growth, and we are committed to taking chances and pushing the boundaries of possibility to massively successful games.

Build for Players

Our players are at the heart of everything we do. As gamers, we put ourselves in the player's shoes to ensure every decision enhances their experience. When players trust us enough to spend their time and money, we honor that trust by delivering consistent high quality. We believe that player-centric development goes hand in hand with our commercial success, building lasting relationships that benefit everyone.

Teamwork

We believe that the best teams build the best games. Our success is a collective effort that thrives on open communication, candid feedback, and accountability for results. As a team, we invent solutions that we might not have considered alone, valuing each other's expertise and perspective. We don't fear contention; instead, we embrace it because opposing mindsets can lead to creative breakthroughs. We encourage everyone to advocate for their point of view while remaining open to expanding their ideas to build something even greater. Once a decision is made, we commit to it wholeheartedly, moving forward as a united team to achieve our studio goals and support our players.

Start With Version 0

We strive to create exceptional games, but we avoid the pitfalls of perfectionism by actively evaluating our work in stages. We try a variety of ideas to find the ones that best satisfy our goals, then follow through to our highest standards. By building confidence that our solutions work before investing the entire budget, we ensure that we're making smart decisions without compromising on the learning process and achieving excellence. This approach allows us to be innovative and ambitious while effectively managing our limited resources.

Prioritize for Impact

We focus on high-impact work to effectively reach our studio goals. Aware of our limited resources and tight timelines—and knowing that players won't wait for us—we take a bias for action and prioritize our efforts where they matter most. We channel our energy into projects that significantly impact both the business and our players. By keeping the bigger picture of strategic goals and player experience in mind, we ensure that our work drives meaningful results and delights our audience.

Ownership & Accountability

As owners, we are dedicated and accountable members of our team. We take responsibility for our actions, decisions, and the impact they have on the studio and our players. High standards guide our conduct, ensuring we honor our commitments and maintain transparency regardless of success or challenges. By embracing accountability, we foster a trusting environment where each team member feels empowered to act and excel. Accountability extends beyond mere responsibility for outcomes; it requires a proactive drive to push the company forward and call out problems and help identify solutions wherever you see them. We don't mail it in here.
