A note from the founder
Started in a Bloomsbury back room, still run like one.
I started Sirexanoki above a bookshop on Lamb’s Conduit Street in 2016 with two secondhand PCs and a vertical-slice demo nobody had asked for. We put it in front of players at a Shoreditch arcade night, watched them grin, and decided that reaction was the whole point.
Nine years on we’re still small on purpose — a tight team of designers, engineers, and artists who sit in the same room and argue about frame timing. We take on original IP, work-for-hire production, and long-running live-ops, but the rule hasn’t changed: if it doesn’t feel good in the hands, it doesn’t ship.
We’d love to hear what you’re building. Pull up a stool.

They took our messy card-game prototype and turned it into a Switch launch in eleven months. The weekly builds and honest scope calls meant zero nasty surprises at cert.

Our live game was leaking players. Sirexanoki’s live-ops team stabilised the backend and shipped three content seasons — retention is up 22% and I finally sleep.

A brilliant vertical slice that landed us publisher funding. Small team, big craft. Docked a star only because I wanted them to start sooner than their queue allowed.
