Terrarium Tycoon

Build a little world in a jar, then look after it. Plants, weather, frogs, and a desktop pet that keeps you company.

Independent game studio, est. 1996

We make worlds you can hold in a jar , roads you should never drive , a sea that swallowed the cities and a London with two faces .

Mindengine is a small studio with a high bar. Every game runs on Unreal Engine 5, built with a lean, AI-assisted pipeline: generated materials, automated tests and builds, and a director's eye on every frame.

That pipeline lets a small team carry four original games at once, from a cozy builder you can play today to a co-op comedy now heading to publishers.
