About Us
Nicky Nice Games
At Nicky Nice Games, we believe play should feel personal. Founded by passionate game makers who grew up loving the quirky, the bold, and the downright delightful, we craft interactive experiences that bring people together—whether that’s on the couch, across the internet, or around the classroom. Our games mix heart, humor, and just the right amount of chaos to spark connection and curiosity. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just along for the vibes, you're always welcome in our "Nice" little wurldz.
Sister Studios
Another one of our hopes is to build up the local game development industry. We think that a dozen studios is the critical mass number. Here are some other types of studios we hope to help foster and build in our local area.
- Level Up Studios
- This is a studio focused on interns.
- This is probably the one we have put the most research into and will be the first we try to support.
- Hardware Studio
- This is a studio focused on games with a hardware component.
- Elderly Gaming
- This is a studio focused on games where the target audience is for senior citizens.
- Games by women
- This is a studio focused on games that are 100% made by women.
- Experimental Genres
- This is a studio focused on games that try to make new genres with every game.
- Genre Focused Studios
- These studios focus on making the same types of games.
- RTS studio.
- Racing game studio.
- We feel that a lot of institutional knowledge gets lost. These types of studios hope to preserve that knowledge. Learning and iterating in a single space.
- 30 Day Developer
- This is a support studio focused on education of game development.
- It focuses on how to make "X" in 30 days.
- Shovelware Studios
- Ok, not actual Shovelware. But games that are quickly made and pushed out the door.
- Focus on low scope.
- quick iteration cycles
- building out of business and systems
- bring that knowledge back to the other studios of the community
- make a lot fast - there is sure to be good stuff in there eventually
