Independent Game Studio
We build unique worlds players won't forget
April 13 Studios is an independent studio crafting atmospheric, systems-driven games — bold worlds built to be remembered.
The Studio
Independent. Systems-driven. Built to last.
We build games with deep, interlocking systems and worlds that have a strong sense of place — the kind you keep thinking about after you put the controller down. No filler, no trend-chasing. Just worlds worth getting lost in.
Atmospheric worlds
Hand-crafted settings with a strong sense of place and mood.
Deep systems
Interlocking mechanics that reward creativity and mastery.
Built to last
Games designed around community, longevity, and replayability.
Scrap Core
Purify a dead planet as S.E.E.D., a rusty old scrap robot rebuilding a broken world.
Our first project blends survival, base-building and tower-defense with RTS elements — and sets the tone for everything we want to build.
Core Pillars
Survive. Explore. Build. Fight.
Survive & Adapt
Face harsh conditions, manage resources, and upgrade your modular robot to stay alive.
Explore & Discover
Uncover hidden secrets and restore a forgotten world, piece by piece.
Build & Create
Craft tools, upgrade parts, and shape your own path through a dynamic, open world.
Weapon Modules
Outgunned. Outnumbered. Never outmodded. Build, adapt and blast through relentless robotic threats.
