About Coldwild Games

Boilerplate
Coldwild Games is a small games studio of three people from Latvia, Europe. We started by making the game with unreasonably big scope, then we made some games with unreasonably small scope. Then we made Lazy Galaxy, and it turned out pretty cool. We understand that in indie game world, there's no point in making "game X, but better," so we try to come up with cool new ideas and genre blends. Both developing and playing games is a way for us to connect with the world, to exchange our thoughts and feelings with each other. Mission and vision. Experimentation with game genres: always add something new to the mix, even if it is a small detail. No lootbox / casino mechanics masked as games. Treat games as art aesthetically, but put good gameplay first.
