Three best friends started an indie game studio and made some more friends along the way 💙
Currently building Rusthaven, a game about robots and second chances
The best part about being a dumpster diving robot is finding retro technology and recycling its parts to upgrade your own body.

Hey #PitchYaGame! We're making a game for fans of Wall-E, Treasure Planet and Studio Ghibli.

Rusthaven is an adventure-management game about second chances. Join a collective of lost robots restoring a polluted planet. Build a new home out of a rusty old Skyship using re-purposed scrap.

There's so many different games, films, and novels which are influencing the direction of Rusthaven.
Here's 10 pieces of media to get to know Rusthaven 🌿

You can lead a robot to water, but you can’t make them fish.

Unless that robot is Scoot. If you lead Scoot to water, you'd better do it with some line and bait because that robot LOVES to fish!

Sentient machines you can make friends with in Rusthaven:

A Vacuum Cleaner looking to find a comfortable home.
A Vending Machine dreaming of starting their own business.
A Pressure Cooker introducing robots to the art of cuisine.

Which one would you like to meet first? 👀

This is Rusthaven.


You’re a robot, and you captain a Skyship to find and repair broken robots to join your crew.

Any questions?

We are no longer making a cozy solarpunk, skyship management game about robots with feelings and dreams called Retopia.

We are now making a cozy solarpunk, skyship management game about robots with feelings and dreams called Rusthaven!

We can’t wait to show you more of Rusthaven very soon!

We had an incredible time showcasing Rusthaven at the GCAP Local Lounge! 💚

Huge thanks to Screen Australia for the opportunity - and for making it so easy (and fun!) to show off our cozy post-apocalyptic adventure.

Rope physics:
✅ Makes fishing feel cool
❌ Also makes fishing look like... this 😅🎣

Here’s Scoot in Retopia, trying their best to master the fine art of fishing. Let’s just say... the rope still has a mind of its own.

Any other devs battled with ropes?

Our new look for Retopia 👀
A broken world. A hopeful spark. A robot on a mission to restore it all.
