We operate on CET+3 (TRT). Development sprints are often 24/5, but our office is open for in-person collaboration Mon-Fri 9:00-18:00.
Karaköy District. T1 Tram Line, 3 min walk from the Galata Kulesi stop.
The Istanbul Game Dev Ecosystem is Our Native Terrain.
Our Karaköy studio is embedded in the city's creative pulse. We don't just ship from Istanbul; we draw from its unique confluence of ancient storytelling and modern tech infrastructure. This isn't a satellite office—it's our operational core.
Collaborative Network
We actively partner with local indies like Studio Paralimpik and Mono Studios for asset sharing and cross-promotion.
Talent Pipeline
Through our internship program with ITU Game Design, we mentor 5-8 junior developers annually, bringing fresh perspective to our codebase.

Submission Readiness Checklist
Clarity accelerates the first conversation. A well-prepared brief allows us to provide a meaningful assessment, not just a generic reply.
Core Concept & Hook
A single paragraph summarizing the unique gameplay loop and target emotional experience. Avoid feature lists; focus on the "why."
Method Note: We evaluate concept viability against market saturation and technical feasibility within our first 30-minute review.
Platform & Tech Stack
Target devices (iOS/Android/PC) and engine preference (Unity, Unreal, Godot). Critical for scoping performance benchmarks.
Glossary with Opinion: "Cross-platform" often implies more work than it saves. We recommend mastering one platform first for quality-focused projects.
Visual Reference
3-5 key art images or a curated mood board link. This is our fastest route to understanding your aesthetic target.
Realism Anchor: Provided references guide our internal artists but are not production assets. They establish the north star.
Monetization & Timeline
Your model (Premium, IAP, Ad-supported) and target launch window. This defines our economic and scheduling framework.
Scenario Vignette: An indie client with a tight Q4 window chose a focused IAP model over ads. This trade-off allowed for deeper gameplay instead of ad integration, boosting Day-7 retention by a significant margin post-launch.
Common Submission Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them
- ✖ Vague Scope: "We want a mobile game." Instead, state: "A hyper-casual puzzle game for iOS, aiming for sub-100MB download."
- ✖ Budget Ambiguity: "TBD." Instead, provide a realistic range or a "Phased Discovery" approach for unknowns.
- ✖ Asset Black Box: "We have an artist." Instead, share their portfolio link or sample work immediately.
The Collaboration Ethos
Contacting us is the first step in a shared authorship. Our process is designed for clarity, not surprises.
“We don't just build games; we architect player experiences. The first conversation is where that architecture begins.”
— Creative Director, Markeno
Integrated Teams
Design and code are developed in parallel, not in silos. This prevents late-stage integration disasters.
Data-Driven Intuition
We pair decades of genre experience with session analytics to validate decisions, not just debate them.
Transparent Sprints
Bi-weekly builds and prioritized backlogs are shared with clients, creating shared ownership of the roadmap.
Scope Management
We define Minimum Viable Shippable (MVS) features early to protect the core vision from scope creep.
Interactive Elements Demo
This section demonstrates specific UI behaviors requested in the brief. Hover or click to see effects (Desktop-first).
This panel has a persistent glow effect. Click the toggle above to (visually) emphasize it. In a full implementation, this would switch themes or highlight states.
