Two people, one world, no publisher.

Sandcat Studios is an independent game studio building one game with a very small team.

The studio was set up around a single idea: that a very small team, given enough time and a modern engine, can build something with the scale and the stubbornness of a much larger game. That idea is currently being tested by Hollow Cedar.

What we bring to it

Three decades of software and game development between us, a working knowledge of Unreal Engine 5 that has been earned the hard way, and a preference for building systems properly the first time rather than patching around them for the next two years.

We work in the open. Build changelogs post straight into Discord as they land, and longer posts go up on r/HollowCedar. If a feature is held together with string, we will usually say so.

Working with us

We are not currently hiring, but we do read everything. If you are a journalist or content creator after a press kit, a composer or artist who thinks their work belongs in this world, or a business wanting to talk about something else entirely, the contact page reaches us directly.
