Factsheet

Developer

Synaptic Sugar, based in Southern California

Founding date

January 2023

Description

Synaptic Sugar is a small team of indie developers aiming to make humorous, whimsical, imaginative games that can be enjoyed by most ages. We believe in sustainable production processes that favor work/life balance and slow growth. At the moment we are self-funding and self-publishing smaller scope games.

History

We founded Synaptic Sugar in 2023 as a way for us to realize our long-lived vision of creating games that, while remaining stimulating and interesting, could be enjoyed by everyone. It was our experience that shaped this line of thought: working in AAA games and related technology since 2008, in an industry where violent or heavily combat-based games were very popular, we saw ample opportunity for experimentation with more original concepts and innovative gameplay mechanics.

2023 also happened to be a year of massive layoffs in the games industry, something that broadcasted the unsustainability of many AAA business models and made it even clearer that smaller, more personal game experiences were in many cases preferred, and, in some instances, perhaps even the only possible path forward. This further validated our decision to start Synaptic Sugar and dedicate our efforts to carefully crafted, smaller games.
