GAMES WORTHPLAYING.
Novo Games is an independent Australian game studio building social, rewarding and memorable interactive experiences.
01Studio
WE ARE
NOVO GAMES.
Novo Games is an independent game studio focused on creating games that are enjoyable to play, rewarding to master and better when experienced with other people.
We are at the beginning of our journey. Instead of rushing games to market, we are building carefully, testing ideas and developing experiences we would genuinely want to play ourselves.
We are building Novo Games for the long term.

THE SYSTEM
BEHIND THE PLAY.
Select a principle to inspect the current design direction.
Player Skill
Players should improve because they learn and understand the game.
03.1Our direction
WE ARE NOT BUILDING
WHAT ALREADY EXISTS.
Novo Games is not being created to simply copy whatever game happens to be popular.
We want to experiment. We want to create our own systems, worlds and experiences.
03.2Our philosophy
FUN FIRST.
EVERYTHING ELSE FOLLOWS.
We believe players should stay because the game is good.
Progression should feel earned.
Competition should feel fair.
Discovery should feel exciting.
Purchases should never replace skill.
We want to build games that respect the player’s time.
